    My collection on a beautiful day

    I know you guys like pictures, and its just beautiful here in Spring, TX. So here they are, plus my newest (meager compared to some of you guys, but you have to start somewhere). But I'm proud of what I got so far. And right now all it has cost me is a 32" Flat Screen TV for my wife. Next one I buy she will probably want a Lexus though. LOL. Fixin to take my wife and grandson to the shooting range and see how the IBM shoots. Inland on top, Standard Products below, National Postal Meter below that and then the newest IBM on bottom.

    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.

    Rusty, you have an open spot on the bottom. Maybe your wife will let you order just ONE more before they disappear from CMPicon to fill it... have you offered her the chocolate covered strawberries and a massage but the pool??? Cheaper than the Lexus!

    Hope you have a wonderful time at the range with your grandson!

    Gunner,

    All Americans have swimming pools in our backyards. Most of us have tennis courts too, but I converted my tennis court into a firing range.
    My range is only 100 yards, but I have to sacrifice because I live in the suburbs near the city.

    I also have to put up with the oil well in the corner of my back yard because I live in Texas. I hate having to mow around it, but the extra cash helps with the high cost of carbine ammo.

    Harlan, Are you running for political office????????

    That is some tall Texas Tale!

    Gunner, Don't let Harlan mess with you, son.... we usually have a choice of two swimming pools or two tennis courts here in Texas, and most neighborhoods have their own shooting range.

    Might just be the purist in me, but that big honking telescope on the Inland makes me shed a tear.
