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.

The weather should be ideal this weekend. This is one of the largest air shows in the country, and you'll see almost all of the great warplanes from World War II, along with enough re-enactors and weapons to conquer western Europe in about three days, including lunch breaks.

I'm going up in the "Yankee Lady" on Saturday!

Tom,
I took it last June and found it just a thrill and a half. The photo shows my son standing next to the flight engineer just before my flight.

If you slip them a few extra dollars, maybe they'll let you fire these as you circle over Reading.

Have fun!

I can't wait, I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve. I know I'll enjoy the whole day, but that ride...

I'd slip 'em some extra, but methinks I'd be getting ripped off. I noticed little holes in that ammo.

Is that a Martin 404 in the background on the B-17 shot? Carl

This is one of them. There are so many things to photograph, it's a choice between taking lots of photos or taking fewer but getting the details on them. I chose to shoot lots.

It's encouraging to see parents bringing their children, to see and touch some of the things that are a vital part of American history. I credit the re-enactors with doing a superb job that involves meticulous planning, lugging lots of gear and wearing uniforms that can be ungodly hot at some of these shows.

Great folks!

The re-enactors

I think you'll find it very satisfying

You can move everywhere in the B-17, except into the tail position and belly turret

I don't know the Martin; perhaps it is

There are many planes I can't identify

The re-enactors do a wonderful job of bringing things to life
