    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.

    Chiming in very late here. Haven't been around in a long while and just read about this in the GCAicon journal. All my condolences to those he left behind. Another of the greatest generation moves on. I always considered this place HIS.

    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    I knew John R very well. Sad to see another acquaintance go...he had many stories to tell and even if one couldn't quite sort them out, there was a kinship there. He had a VERY colorful life...you have no idea if you didn't know.
    Regards, Jim

    Guisan from the Swiss Rifle Boards passed away.

    I'm not sure when but it's been fairly recently. There is a memorial to him on the Swissicon pages.

    I don't go there often but have interacted with him in the past and he seemed to always know what he was talking about. Lot of knowledge lost with is passing. He has left a lot behind also.

    He has been gone for at least a couple months at this point. Truly a shame, he provided much of the information on Swissicon Rifles you can find online. It is also tragic as from my understanding he was only in his fifties, which is way to young to go.

    He will truly be missed.
