    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 ...

    classic combat maneuver...step on his foot to get him off balance, then gouge him in the eyes, then hit him in the junk while he is blinded. The TMs plagerized this from a 3 stooges episode, or vice versa...but it certainly works! Grab twist and pull!

    I like it. We were taught some kind of basic tae kwon do. Not bad, but not funny.

    The original caption was about the Montford Point marines, camp Lejune, with this title... "US Marine Corps judo instructor Corporal Arvin Lou Ghazlo training Private Ernest C. Jones, Montford Point Camp, North Carolina, April 1943"

    It was trying to display the effectiveness the new integrated USMC would have.
    Regards, Jim

    I believe Montford Point is now Camp Johnson, with several MOS schools there. I know I have pictures somewhere. There was a 3 acre or so yard behind the HQ building, dotted with a few oak trees here and there. The Camp commander had a private war going on against falling leaves...and just about every other evening after training, me and around 99 others were issued rakes, and covered/aligned and in cadence would sweep the whole yard of leaves from one end to the other. The more creative among us would sing new cadence ditties. A few pieces I remember, but none are appropriate for the general public.
    There was a large plaque, I think right next to the main parade ground which was surrounded by classrooms, in memorial to the original Montford Point marines.
