    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 ...

    APFSDSDU/T...ON! Fire! Firing NOW!

    Yes, we had those cooking vessels since the '80s. They were great, no more Coleman two burner.

    Boy!... am I old! My mother, from Scotland, used loose tea, a teapot, and a wire strainer. Served with lemon or milk (added last). Her sister would then read your fortune from the tiny residue leaves in your cup!!!!

    My parents drank Britishicon style tea when I was a kid, but for some reason they favored Carnation Condensed Milk with three of the little cubes of sugar. I do not know if that was attributable to time spent in a British administered Displaced Persons camp in Austriaicon right after the war or what. One thing for certain, he had Thermos of that tea in his lunch pail when he went to work every day.

    Emil,
    Here we go.....................one thing in the good old days was the 24 Hour ration packs and the tube of condensed milk.
    On a cold night when you needed something quick to jolt the taste buds and lift your spirits, a good old squeeze of the tube was great in a brew of English tea, not that crap you Yanks tossed into the Boston Harbour ha ha!! I know I'm 3 days late................happy fourth July! When you think, that was in the days when you hadn't even seen coffee!!

    Yes, those still exist in strength.
