    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 ...

    One can always dream!

    This area was settled and was "boom town" territory in the 1820s.

    Times are tough. Even newer businesses on main roads are closed:



    Too bad, too! Would have been very convenient shopping for vittles after a hunt.

    Neve knew you had them over there, the tools are not snap on quality, but at the price you can always buy another. I dont eat it every day but the Scottish smoked salmon is the best I,ve ever tasted.

    In one of those don't blink or you will miss it burgs down the road from my town there was a store like that that was called the Olena Mall. Everything you wanted or really needed for a small farming community. Right across the street from the BeeHive Restaraunt. Home of Good Food and Poor Service. The reason the service was so poor was because the place was always packed. Sadly both establishments are gone.
