    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 don't collect them, but I sure have a pile of them someplace accumulated from my 17 years of mud crawling ..

    I also like the old WWII training videos. There's a number of them on here covering the M1 Garand/M14/M1Aicon Rifles and also in the M1 Carbine forums. Look at the "stickied threads" at the top of the forums.

    Hey Bill,
    I have manual FM 21-100, and inside it I found an eleven page white page booklet FM 21-100 with C 1 underneath. Is this one of those change booklets?

    I do not understand your description. A change is a white sheet or several sheets which describe how to change some wording in the manual, add some paragraphs, or add pictures.
