    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 ...

    He did three landings, Sicily, Italyicon and Normandy. Started in the first guys in '39 and finished with de-mob in '45. Barely looked like the same guy. He was 17 when he joined... He died in '93, couldn't even hold on for the 50th of D-Day. Seems like a long time he's been gone now. He told me stories of how to handle the .30 cal and .50 cal when I was VERY young but I remembered them and used them when I was a MG number on them in later years. Sure had some surprised NCOs that couldn't imagine where I'd have picked that stuff up. Skills that had been lost in the 35 years since the vets came back I guess...
    Regards, Jim
