    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 ...

    I think we All remember those Shots... BT in the Corp is 13 weeks, but the first week doesn't count. That's when you get straighten out with all the paperwork, Medical, and all the goodies that go along with what you need for the 12 Week program. The process can take up to 36 hrs before you hit the rack. I seem some NR's having side effects from those injections. Talk about the walking dead.

    I have a flag that IIRC was from a battle in the central highlands. To be honest I don't remember if it was from the bad guys or good guys. I received it in trade from a buyer who couldn't come up with the funds $$. I'll try to photo it and post.

    Definitely not Combat Casey stuff.....red mud and rain. These guys look like Marines. No covers...I'd bet that the stock isn't cut off, its just under someones arm. God I loved that M14.

    Thats what I thought, but caption said "M14 with Cut Rear Stock"...I'll look in my History and see if I can find it, but I can see where its cut or the person just glanced at it and Posted like that.

    Hard to tell with the grainy blow up of it but it just doesn't look like the comb is there behind the small...I've had my share of M14s too... I wouldn't see why cut the stock though.

    Agree, not boring, a bit chilling. I recall those rats were as big as small domesticated cats.
