    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.

    I think that is referred to as "adding insult to injury"??
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Or possibly acknowledging that the P38 is a better pistol than the 1911.

    I'm pretty sure that's a Luger.

    It´s a P08 (commonly called a `Luger´ in foreign parts). And the two `prisoners´ look as though they´re well pleased with their fate.

    The P38 doesn´t have a Browning system barrel that flops down and is then only held in place with a bushing. The P38 (like the P08) recoil is straight back in line with the shot fired. This is in accordance with the US Army Beretta and the new Russianicon Arsenal Strike One. I realise that the 1911 can be deadly accurate (and most people are able to achieve better groups than I can with my P08), but it´s a matter of personal preference and personally, I don´t like the Browning system.
