    I know that my eyes are getting bad but............

    While walking to work early this morning, at a time when I only ever see a handful of people on foot, I noticed another pedestrian, a man, approaching in the opposite direction and I was convinced that he was wearing a surgical mask. I thought to myself, Good-God, people have really gone nuts over the virus now, with hardly anyone about someone still thinks that he needs to wear a mask to protect himself. It was only when my fellow pedestrian was almost next to me that I realised that his "surgical mask" was actually his white Beardicon.

    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 ...

    Yeah, times have changed. Before COVID-19, a person would cough to cover their fart, now we fart to cover our cough!
