    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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 ...

    Coast Guard guys drove the boats and had the highest casualty ratio of any service in WWII. When they dropped their first load they went back for another wave and had to run the gauntlet again. I had a neighbor who had three boats shot out from under him in the Pacific.

    Colorized b&w print and not a very good job either. Sailor's life jacket should be blue, soldiers packs should be OD, and etc.

    Coast Guards sailors wearing the standard issue “Kapok” life vest. An emergency locator light could be tied on up near the collar. (USCG Photo),

    Not sure it is a colorized b&w
