    OT but say a prayer for my Uncle, Don Riddle, from dDay then over 110days of combat

    front line duty before being pulled back for a rest. Massive stroke. Already had COPD, heart problems. Another of the quiet American boys who went off to war and came back afterwards to raise a family and be a good neighbor.

    His only son, Norman R. Riddle USN BUDS/Seal RVN brown water Navy service, preceded him in death by 8 yrs,, his daughter works for our local prosecuter as Exec Secr. Unc Don is a Master Mason, and a good man.

    His wife had fallen broke her hip this year and has other problems too, I always felt that Unc Don was waiting for my Aunt to pass before he could go. both in their 80's.

    Prayer works.

    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 ...
