    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 ...

    With electric vehicles you do get the power instantly combined with fantastic acceleration, assuming that there is any life left in the batteries, compared to the internal combustion engine. Just watch an electric train accelerate out of a station compared to a diesel powered one.

    It amazes me how much the flatulence of cattle is said to damage the atmosphere. They've been on planet earth for thousands of years, happily munching grass, without causing a problem but now,all of a sudden, their digestion does appear a problem to some.

    IMHO its just a lot of wind, and some aspects of it are definately over egged, everybody stop breathing

    Every 50 ton tank will have to pull an attached trailer carrying 50 additional tons of Lithium batteries.

    and........................you wouldn't want the Lithiums taking a direct hit as it would be like an Atom bomb going off behind you!!
