    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 believe that's Carlos Hathcock (White Feather) on the left.

    Long-Traan if I recall was the VC's name for him, Carlos always took the most difficult missions like I said the General he took out after that 5 day marathon he regreted in a way due to the reprisals against the GI's. His best was getting that b*tch that tortured then emasculated that poor captured GI at night just outside the wire she broke all his fingers 1 by 1 every half hour or so, cut his eye lids off, pulled his fingernails off then cut the lot off b*lls and all just on daylight set him free to run and die on the wire so all could see him gushing blood.
    Carlos was hunting her when he spied a VC group with his spotter one of them broke off to have a leak except this VC squated Carlos knew it was her called in an artillery strike behind them to force them to run towards him one of the VC new something was up and tried to stop her to run the other way but she just kept running.
    Carlos's first round mushed her heart even so he put another round into her chest as a "your paying the price for cruelty beyond belief you b*tch." rightly so.

    Although not as well known, these three men had more kills than Hathcock in far less time. Adelbert Waldron, Chuck Mawhinney and Eric R. Englandicon. Taking nothing away from Hathcock they deserve and for the most part have not received the same recognition. Mawhinney being especially remarkable. The squeaky wheel gets the grease I think. Tom
