    M132 aka "Zippo" track in Viet Nam, this one with the 11th ACR. A small cupola in the center of the hull mounted an M10-8 flame gun with a coaxial 7.62 mm caliber M73 machine gun, neither of which possessed a sterling reputation for reliability. A bit of burning rag on the end of a coat hanger backed up the troublesome igniters. Two hundred gallons of napalm was good for about 30 seconds with a range of about 200 meters. Crews were loathe to pressurize the system until just before use.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...
