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.

Can't say as I blame the Emperor for going. Washington is falling all over China since they hold so many US Treasury Notes. Imagine the Emperor is getting the feeling that Obama may throw Japan icon

under the bus to keep the Chinese happy. Last thing any nation wants to hear is Obama saying "I've got your back".

An, at long last, official apology for Pearl Harbor might go a long ways toward a long lasting friendship.

I thought he flew over in 1941.

An apology?! I don't think he will provide such. Much more likely we would be expected to provide one for Japan icon

and the reverse!

Sorry Guys.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was over 67 years ago and the United States icon

kicked their butts nearly back to the stone age as a result. The war is over, I see no reason why he can't come and pay his respects.

If you look at history we didn't win the war by a very big margin in either theater, and we didnt just kick butts, we took alot of butt kicking also. Took 3 years to get ready for D-day and almost a year to start island fighting that would have ended up on the main land Japan icon

if it wasnt for the A bombs, the marines would have been there till hell froze over or untill the vets from Europe made it over to Japan to help. So it was far from a stone age butt kicking. Thank God and Thank John Garand icon
