    Garand Picture of The Day - In Color

    Good Day,

    Mark is out of town on business and asked if I would post a photo in his absence. I apologize if this was previously posted on the CSPicon forum. Being new to this forum, I have no way to know for sure. For those of you who have not seen it, I hope you enjoy it.

    Caption: A Japaneseicon-American rifleman hides in corn stalks in a field, wary of Germanicon snipers. He is with the famous 100th Infantry Bn. In Italyicon.

    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 ...

    Two fingers of his left hand will not be happy

    if he pulls the trigger in that position! He needed to look like he was serious for the photographer but knew that he really wasn't going to shoot soon, hence the dangerous grip.

    I don't know much about the M1icon except what I have read and that eventually I would like to acquire one and I have gotten to fire one, but it looks like he is going to be hurting if he fires his.

    Best Regards
    Lisa

    Thanks Smle-man, I was wondering what the was for. Out of curiosity, do you know who made them and are they hard to find? Thanks.

    Strange looking corn stalks? Looks like grape leaves to me. I would think there were more vineyards in Italy than cornfields, but what do I know.
