    THE SILENT BULLET

    Taken home from the Vietnam War killing guys years later. This is true and from the Veterans Affairs Agency in the U.S. which some might find interesting:

    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 ...

    Well, that's me needing to get checked - Three years in Vietnam, and I've recently had a liver cyst biopsied.

    I did three tours as well. Maybe I should get tested, but I feel my agent orange ailments will take me out first so I'm passing on it. I don't need to be concerned with another issue.
    As for fish, I've never eaten any that was raw. All those sushi nuts can have it. Even though not all sushi has raw fish, I've never tried it, no reason to start now.
