    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.

    Good rifles never get old. The get worn out and shot out, but never get old and useless. Wonder how old that Mosin sniper is?

    Pretty sure it is a separatists, although I thought the white arm/knee band was an area thing (like the Z marks etc on vehicles) as there was a video on Twitter showing what looked to be of a formation of Russian troops, walking through an area of Kherson, and they were wearing those white ties around one knee, and the way they were equipped and behaving they actually looked like they had a bit of training, rather than some of the mob were seeing in some clips.

    It looks brand new...!
    Doesn't seem to the usual dark crappy shellac finish usually associated with ex-Soviet stuff.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    I like the pic of the female Ukrainian MP. It's not just the men of Ukraine who are defending their homeland.

    The Russians really are facing anyone and everyone capable of picking up and aiming a firearm, there was a guy well in his 80's on the news the other night, strip cleaning his AKM!

    God bless the Ukrainians, their resolve and true grit is truly humbling...
