    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 ...

    They say that this battle the USAicon forces were involved in was a far more lethal endeavour against the IJA than any of the other island campaigns.

    I just finished that book last month. It is the absolute best non-eyewitness account in the Pacific I have read. The author worked very hard to include as much first hand testimony as he could - and there is a lot.

    Looks like a regular training day for the Engineers on Canadaicon's Wet (West) Coast.

    It reminds me of that day, as a little kid, when me and my brother took a “martial” walk into the “sh8ithole” of grandpa’s cows in his farm. We marched until we had the dung at knees height and then back, probably coming within inches of the deeper pit, where we would have died for sure.
    Mom was horrified and almost fainted after understanding what we had done. Never seen her as pale as that.
    But it was so funny…
