    FORMER U.S. MARINES and the M! GARAND

    See alot of forum members signing off "Semper Fi".
    Just curious as to how many former Marines are members of this forum. I know Dick Culvericon was a Marine. To keep this post M1icon Garand related, how many of you were issued the U.S. Rifle Cal .30 M1 in boot camp. Funny, when I got discharged from the Marines I didn't think I would ever want to see an M1 again, now look what happened, I can't get enough of them. Semper Fi, Joe

    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 ...

    Jeff, give me a bit of credit for not saying "EX", that would have really got me flamed. Semper Fi, Joe
