    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 ...

    Army Air Defense Artillery pretty much abandoned guns in the Fifties in favor of missiles like the Nike and the Hawk. But both the M42 Duster and the M45 Quad Fifty proved themselves useful in Viet Nam. Despite the popular notion that it was the Huey that hauled everything, the truth is an awful lot of the "beans and bullets" traveled in the lowly deuce and a half. Trucks travel by road and roads are where the ambush will be. No airplanes to shoot at, but the truck carrying a Quad Fifty found a new role.

    I posted this in another thread talking about the quad fifty its not a nice thing to find yourself on the receiving end of apart from it being on the trucks he says they also used it in perimeter defense makes sense when you think of those 600 or 700 grain bullets flying around point blank just 1 would definately penetrate more than a few VC in the wire.
    Interesting they were all electric 5 minutes guns 5 minutes rest & charge guns and battery says he does not like using the generator too noisey! and he owns a quad fifty really..........I for one would not want to feed that puppy ammo would cost thousands..
