    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 ...

    S&W just might not be amused! The use of their name and trademark, plus the implication that they would manufacture such a gun, could (and probably should) lead to a suit against the "joker" who did this.

    Well to be honest with you Jim, this little joke has been around in many forms for many years. I have seen " Newfie " guns like this. I have even sen a Luger in a gun show atleast 10 years ago like this.

    I doubt that S&W would lose much sleep over this. If they wanted to lead a charge against the " joker " who made this ad, they will have to line up behind the krauts, Newfies and others.

    I am sure S&W has seen worse, but trademark protection is a very big thing with most companies. Quite a few fiction writers have had a character go into a restaurant and order "a coke" only to receive a letter from Coca-Cola's attorneys informing him that "Coke" is a registered trademark and must be capitalized and noted as such. The reason is that, unlike a patent, trade names and trademarks are valid forever, but if the company fails to protect them, they become public domain. Eastman failed to protect its "Kodak" tradename and it became a common name for a camera, so then other companies began to sell "kodaks", usually junk imitations, hurting Eastman's name and reputation.

    Talking It IS funny, but....

    From what the message says ("Democrats doom and gloom got you down?") The ones who would be the potential customers would be us, not the Liberals.
