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.

I see two fit and lean troopers.Nothing submissive on their face. The same today.

I see nothing remarkable about the KPA troops - they look fit to me

Emaciated is shown below

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 12-18-2011 12:58 PM

Yes - look at the biceps, forearms, lats and other muscle groups of each. The Koreans are fit and the US POWs have been starved.

I feel the N Koreans and associated Chinese are the most dangerous people in the world today - JMO

Now that Kim Jong is dead what's next for that loose cannon of a country??

**Bill Hollinger** · 12-19-2011 10:28 AM

No telling but let's keep on track as we don't want to start a political discussion over a photograph

**Paul S.** · 12-19-2011 12:16 PM

Kim Il Jong's youngest son, the 20 something '4 star General', ascends to 'the throne' and they don't even miss a beat - that's what happens. After all, the whole country is nothing more than a family business, isn't it?

A 4 star at 20??? Boy did I ever take a wrong turn somewhere!!!

**Paul S.** · 12-20-2011 01:48 AM

I think the newscaster last night said he was 26 and holds a rank equivalent to a US 4 star General. Read in the Sydney Morning Herald today that his name is Kin Jung Un.

You didn't take a wrong turn anywhere. You just weren't born the favourite son of a tin-pot psychopathic dictator or inherit the family business.
