    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 ...

    Those are probably civilian Police. When we do Aid to the Civil Power, we'd have a policeman attached to us as an active advisor for civilian law. 'Cause the military's a bit different...

    Well I like the military system, you will never be right even if we tell you your right youre still wrong it would stop allot of people in their tracks as the poor police really get stiffed and from what I can see when you people send in the National Guard people toe the line very quickly as they know they aint got Shi* options against the Army Hooraah for you.

    And looking at the pic high port does not cut it level the weapon so people get the drift we are not here to play games move on and do not come back.......

    That's the "On Guard" position. Really easy to butt stroke somebody who gets too close or reaches for the weapon if you don't want to actually stick him.
