    I'm a Grandpa

    We weren't expecting it this soon as she was six weeks early but I have a grandson now. Having two daughters with no interest in my collection, I now have someone to share it with. Hopefully, he'll develop a love of history like I have.

    6 lbs, 1 oz, 18 inches long. He'll be in the hospital for a while and we can't see him yet but it's still very exciting.

    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 ...

    I hope he got that gene. I know you will provide the history lessons he will likely not be taught in todays schools.
    Congradulations!!

    We just came home from the hospital. Still can't see him which is frustrating but he's doing well and my daughter can now hold him every other "touch" time. He is off the high level oxygen and they are feeding him her milk now so things are progressing nicely. He is pretty big for a premie. He looks like a full term baby. We could see him through a window from a distance the day he was born.
