Eye candy from World War II

Looks like a twin, or at least a close cousin, of one of the Mustangs we saw at the Indianapolis air show on the 6th. Polished aluminum, red spinner & the forward part of the cowling was also painted red. Beautiful bird!

Mustang, Corsair, "Jug", Wildcat, Mitchell, several other old "warbirds" staggered into the air & circled the field for 20-30 minutes. Oops, sorry, we didn't see a Mustang fly, she was just on static display.

I'll try to post a few pic's if I can figure out how to get them off my 'puter & get them onto this site.

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.

Beautiful pictures!!!

When I see the pictures of the Germans - all I can think about is - "Look at all the souvenirs".

My son a few years ago with my buddy Chris who gets to fly the CAF Corsiar at our wing. Chris served as a Marine sniper during Desert Storm earlier in life then he became a check pilot for an Airline, After 9-11 he was in his 40's but joined the Army and became a sniper again serving 1 1/2 years in Iraq. This photo was before he joined the Army. I thought he was nuts but he said he just had to go back.
