    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 ...

    In OIF1 we were issued the black ones to keep the sand and dust out of the bores of our M16A2. (They would not issue us M4s). We were told to just shoot them off if we got into a fire fight. At the end of the rotation we ended up throwing thousands of them away. I being a pack rat kept a box of them. The party "ballons" probably were not issued for the purpose of keeping your rifle bore free of debris. They were issued to keep your "gun" bores clean of other "debris" like bacteria as VD was a real problem in modern armies around the world.

    How many of us actually remember friction tape? It was gross stuff that sort of worked for electrical wiring and repairing bicycle tires. I was really happy when other types of electrical tape and duct tape showed up. No, I am not old enough to remember it used on rifles, I am only 78.

    I just kept a big bag or two. I took dozens in to my army reserve unit after my release from regular and gave them out. I only kept a few...
