Will be missed

Sadly reporting that longtime member and one of our Moderators has passed away. Older members will remember Harlan Short for his CAF (Confederate Air Force) pictures. Newer members may have used his sticky on posting pictures.

I will remember him for his wit, jokes, and passion for the M1 icon

Carbine.

Rest in peace Buddy.

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.

Even for a short time member like myself Harlan was a good bloke this site has lost one of its special members for sure. Condolences to Harlans family.

A great loss.

Another good one gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm saddened to hear of his loss, but at the same time I feel very honored to have known him, and for the knowledge that I've gained from him. After lurking here for awhile, I became active on the site a little over 5 years ago. Harlan was one of several that offered help and advice in my forum posts, as well as through PM's and emails. He made me feel welcome and a part of the special group that we have here. I'm glad I've saved those emails and PM's, along with several pictures to help me remember what a really great guy he was. - Bob

RIP Harlan

Just as an FYI, I have tried my best to find out something, anything about what happened to Harlan. The family is keeping rather hushed about it. His friends and associates at the DFW-CAF were unaware of his passing. Harlan was a great friend to all of us here and will be greatly missed. I feel bad for not knowing sooner as we just found out this week that he passed sometime in January soon after myself and Jim had been in contact with him.

RIP my brother!

Another friend gone...condolences to the family. I must have been messaging back and forth with him just about that time too...

**imarangemaster** · 04-29-2016 10:21 PM

I am sorry to hear about Harlan's passing! I am really saddened to here about it. I will miss him. He has been a fixture since I joined here years ago after I left Culver icon

forums. My prayers for him and his family. I saved his Confederate Air Force pictures somewhere. I need to find them.
