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.

My clerk on the NYSE trading floor served in the Marines and went all through Khe Sahn, although he never talked about it. One busy day I had to order a sandwich in the booth for lunch instead of going up to the Lunch Club. When I finally got a short break, I unwrapped it and took a quick bite... and chomped on cardboard somebody had slipped in. The clerks were very busy of course and were on their phones with backs turned, the picture of innocence. But my guy couldn't help a small smile that I could see.
While his back was turned, I blew up the paper sandwich bag, shouted "INCOMING!" and popped it... in one fluid motion, he dropped the phone and dived into the corner with his arms over his head! I felt awful! He looked up red-faced and said, "You S-O-B." I replied, "You can always tell a Khe Sahn vet!" and quickly left the booth.

Both Wilcox and Estrada were very nice, but she said they don't sit together nor talk to each other.

So a U.S. Marine cannot put U.S. Marine decals on his car; what's the big deal?
