    I thought they had the cost of the M1icon rifle down to $35...? Looking at the costs though, one could pay cash for the whole kit layout. Send the mudroller off in a bath towel.

    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).

    The pressed fibre sun helmet was designed by Jesse Hawley and patented in 1935 it is the longest serving headgear in the US arsenal. Hawley Products is located in my town of residence and was headquartered in the next town Geneva, IL, my brother worked for Hawley in the late 1960's.

    My father was beginning to go bald when, as a young lad, he was discharged from the Navy after WWII. By the early '60s he was doing field experiments on a boat and needed protection from the sun. He bought a Hawley helmet from the local surplus store, spray painted it white, and never looked back. That hat served him for over forty years whenever he had to go out in the sun for any length of time. What a memory.
