    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 ...

    Is that long tube perhaps an emergency braking system?

    That scooter is real enough, but it is post war. I believe the photo is from an Italianicon military museum.
    I have a 1943 BSA WM20

    Recoilless rifles don't kick , they're , well , recoiless. It is real , but I don't think too many were made . I have also seen a later version with the RR more slung on the right side .

    Two years ago my lovely wife and I leased a car in Italyicon and drove around western Europe. In the french town of Saumur they have the Musee de Blindes, one of the largest armored vehicle museums in the world. So, as a former armor crewman ( 1/10th Cav 68-69) and somewhat of a museum piece myself, I managed to bore my wife with several hours of Tank talk and heavy metal lust. The scooter picture below may well be the one in the original post. The other is of myself with a fine example of an M48 of which I am quite familiar and quite fond of. Time can dull unfavorable memories perhaps. Regards Tom

    I'd hate to think about straddling that thing with live ammo! Similar, The Bell P-39 has the engine mounted behind the pilot. I was talking to one of the CAF guys who flies it at air shows and he told me the 65 year old drive shaft running at high RPM right between his legs was something he always had in the back of his mind.
