    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 know this sounds kinda sick...… but there are times I miss the taste of certain C rations. I have good memories of buddies and C rats.

    Some were OK. It was the down time to eat them and the camaraderie...you're talking about.

    The pound cake wasn't half bad when it was from the same century.

    You're so right about the down time and meal companions, Jim. They could make a meal out of anything.

    That's why soldiers make the best bums, they can sit around a fire eating whatever they've found, sharing smokes that almost gone and drinking coffee out of a tin can...and be happy.

    If it is a Civil War leftover, then it has antique value. Auction it!

    When I ate them they still had 3-packs of cigarettes... I remember Chesterfields and Old Golds, I liked them both.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    I had those in Ft Wainwright AK, Bear should remember those. Benson and Hedges 100s, Camel...thought they were fours though. I'm probably just remembering wrong.
