    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 ...

    Silly but great stuff.

    If anyone is ever en vacances in North Devon, there is an amphibious Booties unit at Instow. I like to watch them playing in the bay but 'Er indoors and the dogs find it boring.

    It was posted for the silliness. We've all had our share so I thought you might like to see the RM up to some shenanigans...can't imagine who had to know whom to get this lead balloon off the ground though.

    I have used blanks (and most of the time being the C9 gunner I get to use a fair bit), though I can get the point about the shorter sized SA-80 being louder.

    Then I don't understand your point about not needing ear defenders then.
