    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 can't get my head around the notion that some people claim it never happened.

    My family was on vacation and had spent the day in Carlsbad caverns then ate dinner and returned to our motel room to watch the landing . I remember how distressed I was at the room's poor reception . I was 12 at the time .

    We were living in a caravan because my parents had sold our house and hadn't bought anywhere else yet so had no television at the time and we missed the whole event.

    I remember after the moon landings being glued to the television, in the mid 1970's, for what seemed like hours, as a child, waiting for Americans and Russians to open a hatch between 2 spacecraft so that they could meet in space for the first time.
