    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 ...

    p.s. happy birthday
    I don't have either one, but a horse has got to be worse than a motorcycle; while it's true that both can kill you, at least the motorcycle doesn't think about trying it.

    I DON'T NEED THE HORSE. I'VE ALREADY GOT THE BOAT AND THE MOTORCYCLE! Plus a wife who knows that I have carbine fever! That is the most dangerous of all!

    I think bikes scare me the most. Boy I have lost some friends, and almost lost alot more.
    I have one fast Mustang though, for when I'm not chasing down carbines and shootin matches.

    You now have to tell us about your Mustang Curt.

    I had a white 1970 Mach-I with 351 Cleveland that I bought from the original owner. It was owned by an older woman and had low miles on it. She kept it garaged and the original paint and body were perfect.
    My father and I only bolted on a Holly carb, Edelbrock manifold and hooker headers, but it was fast enough to scare me at times.

    I loaned it to a friend and he totaled it.

    He didn't get a scratch though, just killed my Mustang.

    I had a 1966 Mustang that was painted Britishicon Racing Green back in 1979. It was a bottom end one that had the 6 cylinder, manual brakes and manual steering. Looked cool, but drove like a tank. SOld it for a 4x4 truck.

    Glad you are back and OK, Charlie.

    I was concerned about your outcome. Being an owner of horses, I know the damage they can do when scared.

    I hope the horse is calm now and I am sure the two of you will continue with a good relationship.

    For those not familiar with horses, most are Ok around gun shots, but some will react in a very active manner and panic. Many different types of injuries can occur if you are around when it happens.

    Second that on the horses

    We have a small herd of horses ourselves. One of ours is a old cowboy action horse and he will walk right up to you while shooting, most are indifferent and just walk away. As Bill said, some go totally crazy are run, buck, and generally just lose their mind. My shooting range is a gap between two pastures, so they have to deal with it one way or the other.

    A 1966 and a 1970 Mach 1!!!!!!!!!
    Those are on my someday list, I will guess that I am slightly younger than the average carbine forum member.This is what my generation had as it's fast cheap muscle car. Here is my 1987. It has 9.8 compression 302, and alot of Factory Ford racing parts, stainless headers, Gt-40 heads,intakes upper and lower (still injected), super duty 5 speed, aluminum driveshaft, bell housing, big cam. List goes on and on.It was ordered A/C delete and is badged as a police interceptor like the Crown Vics, I don't know if that is factory or not. It formerly had a Kenne Belle super charger and injection, yes it fit under that hood. After tearing the rear end loose,breaking the driveshaft and a couple transmissions that was enough of that. Next toy will be 67 Camaro or Chevelle.
