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.

I did a couple of go's in CA, (four I think) never experienced the rain though. I was out in Pendleton around the FIBUA site for a while, lots of cactus and dry gulch there. Spent my nights sleeping with lizards and snakes... Better you than me brother... Top pic are some HARD CORE mf's though...

Ha, ha, ha! The guy on the left was a reservist who went back to his Reserve unit after AIT and the two guys on the right went to jump school with me then volunteered to be parachute riggers. Nothing against what they did because my son was a rigger at Ft. Bragg for 4 years and the became a Civil Affairs Reservist when he got out. The HARD CORE (CORP) term just amused me.
