    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 ...

    Good god! The germans had some good engineers, but it looks like they had a off day there!
    So I can't spell, so what!!!

    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    That's a grossly enlarged fantasy version of a Sovieticon inter-war aircraft.

    It's been posted here before, including a version armed with two triple naval gun turrets.

    This and his city " Germania" (a vision of Berlin) are good samples for Hitler´s megalomania. Thank god that he lost the war.

    The only rub is that the photo is a Photo Shopped fake of an inter-war Sovieticon aircraft!

    Yeah...well....Adolf didn't toss Willy Messerschmidt or Kurt Tank into a Gulag. Andre Tupolev wasn't so lucky.

    To our luck Adolf did some other mistakes with his generals like Rommel. Or the biggest mistake to start this war.

    It's a good thing it never made it to Fruitation. The airport at Fruitation wasn't built until 1952.

    Oh! Wait. Did you mean FRUITION?

    I kind of think that Germanyicon didn't lose the war,Hitler did,hate to think of what the result would have been if the German military had ran the war instead of Hitler,at the least,it would have lasted longer,at the worst,who knows.
