    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 ...

    It works the same with MS XP.

    PS - Is there a way to set a larger default font size in the User CP instead of having to change when posting?
    Don't blame me - I voted for Palin.

    air-groundmen, and not the abode of uniformed

    I have Vista on this notebook (and I hate it) BUT the control + increase - decrease works on this. But its just as easy to increase the size on my posts to accomodate people like Ray who have bad vision. (People like Ray = Ken) Its not a big deal to do it.
