    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 ...

    Poor fieldcraft for starters

    They SHOULD be back INSIDE the vegetation and NOT sticking out like sore thumbs or worse.Next is LOUSY personal camouflaging and neither the scout/spotter NOR the trigger puller have steady holds on either that Telescope Scout Reg't NOR the No4T.WHY aren't the rifle AND the spotting scope camoed with scrim or yet another face veil too??
    All 3 draws at max extension on the telescope will MAGNIFY heartbeatwobble to the point where the scout/spotter wouldn't have a clue as to IDing a target for the trigger puller.NOT that it would make much difference if it were anything more than a fifty yd shot anyway with a hold like that exhibited.
    I know,details details details but the details can save your A$$ too.JR

    I suspect that the photo has been staged, therefore techniques and tactics would have been secondary here .....

    That is true, because otherwise all you would see is a picture of a bush...lol

    I remember hearing a story about a film maker who hired a bunch of US ex-special forces to do stand-in work. He told them to get in camouflage and go hide in the desert, and then he would film them. He waited and waited behind his camera. Eventually, he shouted out "where the %%^%$ are those guys??", and they stood up in front of him, less than 25 yards away. He told them to make their camouflage not so effective.....that's Hollywood for you lol
