    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 ...

    I have never been eligible to join the AL.Used to get yearly mail invites to join but my years of service(Sept56 thru Sept59) falls through the cracks of their eligibility.

    i guess my experience was different, i got out 38 years ago today.few days after we got out, one of the guys i enlisted with decided to check out the local VFW in Elkhart IN, our home town.well we went in for a beer and a fellow sitting at the bar asked if we had been to Vietnam, we answered yes. well he proceded to tell us basicly we where lucky not too have been in a "real war" where planes bombed us. well we finished our beer and left , myself i never looked back. after that never checked into any services orgs.not flaming anyone or any org, but that a-hole just turned me off.
