    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 ...

    To be fair, there SHOULD be a pit of water underneath so if they fall it's a spring bath. Our pit usually drained in the warm weather so, hard to say what's down there.

    It was said in jest because, from what I've seen from documentaries, UKicon assault courses appear to now have "safety-nets" installed, where they didn't previously, if there is a risk from falling from a significant height. Obviously I don't know if this is the case with all UK assault courses or just some.

    I get you...the heights vary but usually obstacle courses aren't so high. A confidence course is different, they are built high to instill confidence that you can trust your own capabilities. Obstacles are used to cover approaches and are also covered by fire...musketry...
