    Guns and Ammo Surplus Firearms, latest and LAST issue out

    Just picked it up today. Says it is the last ever issue which since I just discovered them about a year ago is disappointing to me.

    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 ...

    Wow thats wierd. I picked mine up today also. and was reading the farewell article about the time you were putting this post up. I am dissapointed too. I have only got it about three times and really liked it. Other than shotgun news it was the only other magazine I buy anymore.

    Sad news for sure, was given a subscription for a few years by my daughter and family and read it off and on for over 50 years.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    The good news is now there is another magazine. It's called Military Surplus I got the premier issue the other night. It looks like it may be a preety good one so far. Although I'm not sure where they are gonna go from the first issue it has the Garandicon,K98icon.M1911,S&WM1917 just to name a few but I look forward to seeing the next issue.

    Lots of fluff. Very little new. I had to laugh when I saw the Czechicon bolt in the Kar98kicon. Not too sure they saw that bolt.

    There is a truism in publishing about the length of time a magazine publisher will have a reader's attention. It is usually measured in months and years, not decades. There are exceptions of course, but if you have any favourite titles, you will likely see a lot of recurring content. The editors will assign the stories and viewpoints a year in advance. The writers are the keyboard monkeys whose name is on the page; the editors have the final say on the content.
