    5 April 2024 Garand Picture of the Day - Objective Burma



    A family friend who had known Flynn as a child through his parents told us that Flynn had died in the presence of a young woman while engaging in extracurricular adventure.
    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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 ...

    Not a bad way to check out, though the woman may be traumatized.

    A little known fact about Erroll Flynn is that for his swashbuckler movies like "Captain Blood" and "The Sea Hawk" he had small springboards strategically placed on the ship's deck during filming to aid him in his quick, sprightly moves during his sword fight scenes.
