    Aquisitions

    Recently I was in conversation with a member by PM and e mails about them downsizing their collection of inert ordnance they had accumulated.
    They provided pics and allot of it was in excellent order and filled a couple of empty shells cases I have a 75mm and a 106 recoiless rifle, plus other goodies to numerous to mention.
    All throughout this deal as it has been about 6 weeks+ worth I reckon not once was there any hic ups whats so ever.
    All I had to do was pay the freight and P & H which was quite reasonable coast to coast also the owner had to pack and transport the gear as well.
    They know who they are and I would like to thank them unreservedly for their help and increasing the size of the collection.
    Which I may add has definitely made my room allot smaller with only 1/4 of the gear put into my room the M W & F has already noted the new arrivals???????

    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.

    Imagine trying to explain the 88mm Tiger if that had happened (since she notices things)?

    81mm mortar illum rd as you think. I shot bags of those...or truckloads. The corresponding smoke rd looked identical but was dark grey. There was nothing left of them however while these littered the fields.

    I haven't seen an arti sim for some time, and those stackable mines make me weak. We saw our share of those and lost a few to them too. Some old mines, some new.
