    One "schoolboy error" that re-enactors in military uniform often seem to make and I noticed this with a chap last year when he arrived at an event before he had even got out of his car is to forget to get their hair cut. It seems such an obvious mistake to make arriving at an event, dressed in vintage military uniform but having a hair style that would be unacceptably long for military service. It is an easy thing to correct, nothing to learn, just go into town and visit the barbers; why do so many re-enactors fail to do so???

    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 ...

    They don't want a haircut. They want to dress up and then step back out of the role. They don't really want to be it, just act it.

    Probably not a good idea if you're planning on using it for your commute to work, unless you've got a very thick skin.

    Stick out like a sore thumb in the North Korean landscape in pink, keep it NATO green

    Yes. There comes a point in life where the only two roles you can get away with portraying are either Home Guard or Volksturm.
