    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).

    I've seen pictures when I was the age of the boy on the car hood with shoes like that!

    The top pic shows a Douglas C-124c Globemaster II with its clam shell doors open forward. I flew via "Old Shaky" airways a couple of time. I loved the plane. For troop carrying it offered two decks and a really fast coffee service system in the galley at the tail. Didn't care much for the web seats. The bar cut you across the butt perfectly and painfully. On my last trip I'd just done an overnight guard detail so the bar didn't get in the way of my sleeping most of the way. The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major engines played their part in that as well. There was a retractable stairway up to the cockpit.
