    Wink The Great War - History Channel

    I watched last night. Part 2 is tonight. Regardless of the critical reviews, nice see the re-enactors in WWI gear. Finally got to see the P14 in action on the battlefield . Even though they were dispersed among the 1917s of the AEF.

    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 ...

    I watched it briefly. Taped to avoid the endless commercials so I will probably watch Wednesday. The gear seemed right. No Japaneseicon charring No4s like the last documentary I watched on the History channel.

    I taped as well. Probably because of the lack of 1917s, the supplier threw in some P14s. Noted by some rifles with volley sights.

    If you're going to have one guy in particular take out a sniper would it be too much to ask for him to have an actual 1917 not a P14 for the close up shot?

    In the movies amazing shots are done like a single round sniper shot at a white suited man with a Bren or using a "T" with only the post & no horizontal line in the scope it was a great movie apart from those 2 bits.
