    Hello,
    I just joined the board and hope that this is the proper place to introduce myself. I am a retired Marine who splits his time between California and Nevada. I have been interested in militaria for as long as I can remember. My principle area of interest is the First World War. I look forward to learning from the other members on the board.

    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 ...

    Ricardo,
    Welcome mate.
    Sounds to me that you might need two armouries, one in California with hardly any weapons in it, and Nevada which will be over stocked. What a reversal of history, the further out west, cowboy country so to speak, with such tight control on weapons, and then Nevada with a real slack firearms policy!!

    Gil,
    Yes, that is very true. California is not very friendly towards the types of things which I like to collect but there are still some good people here. As I slowly transition towards my second retirement we are spending more time in Northern Nevada since I like the mountains along with the sense of freedom and relative lack of political correctness.

    Welcome...
    Pull out your lazy boy, pull your boots off and enjoy.
    No question is a silly one.
