    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 ...

    Mark. I don't think these should count.
    Does the guy with the "Screaming Eagle" patch look like he would jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

    Palletize, palletize, palletize ..... strap on a 100' cargo chute and tailgate him at 200 knots at 500' AGL. Yee Haw!
    If you don't then he's a door plug.

    They do have a military designation LST - Large slow moving target

    aka squad designated bullet magnet

    He'd have to be Airmobile...have to go under a Chinook as a slung load. No cargo chute for him.
