    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.

    No way, you'd come back a broke man because you'd have to shoot everything...and drive the Leopard. I had one on the road, they're not like anything else.

    I was there. They spend so much effort catering to the Dillon crowd, the rest of got mostly screwed on targets and value. Glad the press had a good time.

    So the aerospace crew took away allot of the light from the other vendors, I mean you'd waste $20K just for a full set of mags on that quad mini gun.

    I am still amazed how one can posses and have a working tank in the USAicon is it BAFTA that do your weapons how would you get a licence for it probably go like this;
    'I'd like to license a weapon please'
    'Okay no problems and what type and caliber is this weapon'
    "Oh! cool, its a Leopard 1 main battle tank with M.G's and a 105mm cannon'
    '?'

    BAR ~ you got to hand it to the Germans they know how to build tanks, I'd love to get a peak inside the new Panther but that for me would be like going to the moon not gunna happen.

    Thumbs up

    I went to The Big Sandy Shoot twice a year for 14 years. I only missed the last two shoots due to health reasons.

    I only have one regret, when they had the Ball Turret available with twin fifties. I stood there for 20/25 minutes
    while some guy went through all kind of contortions to get himself inside.
    By the time he was done, so were my legs so I headed to my spot and got in the recliner.
    You could also shoot it through the entrance door

    When the Gunny was there......


    Night browning with H335 Tracers......

    50 BMG Bolt Gun..... It weighs 40#

    That young lady shot the 50 more than all then guys combined.

    Too bad, those Sperry ball turrets were for small men anyway. The quad would be simple and rewarding.
