Amen, "Hooked," amen. WHAT were the designers thinking with all those straight surfaces? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Hey, if we angle the turret and sides, they become thicker! Whooda thunk?

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.

I think because hull and turret where cast? Is why the Sherman is rounded. On a side note on Utube under ( FSAvs SAA) there are tons of videos of the Syrian Rebels killing T55 and T72's with EASE.! you think the Sherman lite up like a Ronson....In one the Tank fires and while the breech is open for reload a teenager tosses a grenade down the barrel!!! Guess what happens next...

Does anyone remember the details of the video filmed by the tank crew of someone climbing out onto thier main gun to toss a grenade down it ? They waited till he got right up to the muzzle , then fired a round. After the smoke cleared , you could catch a glimpse of the body comming down , missing an arm , landing about 50-75 yards downrange . Chilling.

I've been just off the muzzle of an M1 icon

when it fired a fin stab...shocking! I was down in a trench too...I can't imagine being up at the muzzle when he touches off.

Let's just say the noise was horrendous...Oh look! That Sherman has early reactive armour...
