    I watched "Sands of Iwo Jima" on TV this weekend. I don't think I've seen it since I was a kid. I thought I saw Martin Milner, so looked up the cast later. It was him, just didn't know who he was until "Route 66" came along later. It was interesting that the soundtrack was edited to make it "PC" for those that would otherwise complain. - Bob

    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 ...

    He was 18. Born in 1931 and the movies was released in 1949.

    He was in quite a few military movies.
    Halls of Montezuma 1951
    Operation Pacific 1951
    Fighting Coast Guard 1951
    Torpedo Alley 1952
    Destination Gobi 1953
    Mister Roberts 1955
    Francis in the Navy 1955
    Navy Wife 1956
    Screaming Eagles 1956
    A long time before most knew him from Route 66 (60-64) and Adam-12 (68-75)

    Bit of an educated guess...from looking at so many recruits myself and my own pics back at the beginning.
