    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 ...

    Looks like a scene from the movie, "Them". A 1950's Scifi classic.

    You can absolutely contribute! Just title the subject as the next number in the sequence or title the subject to your own liking.

    Do you remember the rule of aim?

    "Close the disengaged eye, looking through the center of the aperture at the target, select a point of aim...keeping the sights upright, align the tip of the foresight, etc, etc, etc"

    And they're all right hand shooters, so...we see the closed eye...

    Was it just me or did those Sci-Fi, alien invasion movies scare the stuffing out of every 8 to 12 year old?

    I think that my brother and I, as children, watched most episodes of Doctor Who from behind the settee in the lounge at home.
