    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 ...

    These accidents are difficult for victims, their families, first responders, and the engineers. The engineers have an especially difficult time as they can see the situation develop and have no way to stop or avoid the tragedy.

    Talk about heartbreaking, I honestly can't imagine the grief so many are experiencing at this time. Vets who have given so much and then a tragetdy like this.

    The engineer(s) never get over this type of accident. My dad worked on the Railway here in Canadaicon for over 39 years and a good friend of his was a engineer who hit a car carrying a family of four that was trying to beat the train to the crossing, killing all in the car. Dad said it destroyed everyone involved, including the engineer who never worked again. It is just impossible to quickly stop a train.

    A prayer for all involved.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
