    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 ...

    Thanks for posting that pic. It is very interesting to me as my Father told a story that relates. The 11th Airborne landed in Japan to secure the area before MacArthur got there to sign the Peace Treaty. They were met at the Airport by Japaneseicon military in trucks. Not the best. On the way into Tokyo the truck in which my Father was in broke down. The driver ran thinking he was going to be blamed. My Father was an Officer but he went under the hood and worked on the engine and got it running. My dad was the Manager of a gas station in Red Wing, Minn. at the start of the War. He then drove the truck the rest of the way into Tokyo. I don't believe that this is a pic of Him, but every time I see it, I think of the story. Thanks for posting it.
