    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 ...

    My uncle Hank was in the 1st. I.D. in RVN at that time. I'll have to ask him what Reg. and Bat. He was at the time 26 and a Dutch national, got drafted went to Infantry school and was assigned to the 1st. I.D. The entire Div. went to Nam on a ship. When they unloaded their bags everything was so moldy they burned it all and had very little in the way of cloths and boots. He said at first they virtually slept in holes in the rain. They had a hard learning curve and walked into a lot of ambushes in the beginning. He was sprayed with A.O. and later had a daughter that was born with a misfiguered hand. When his tour was over and he processed out in Cal. they told him that because he wasn't a U.S. citizen he could have opted out of service in RVN. He never protested or complained it and later became a U.S. citizen. He's a great guy and I love him.....Frank
