    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 ...

    Long lines...I observed a pistol range in Ft Lewis that had 105 firing points...imagine a range day of several relays? These guys look like army.

    I wonder if its Camp Croft, Spartanburg SC. If it is, the water tower in the back view is in Mr. Smith's front yard.
    Went out searching for it last year and found one of the firing points. Three hundred points if I remember correctly.
    Talked to the above mentioned Mr. Smith and his son, boy, did they have some stories to tell about the Camp.

    Those are some ranges you guys have in your forts...but I guess when the machine is turning out thousands to crush oppression of the world, the machine needs to be monstrous.
