    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    These were used aboard smaller naval vessels such as destroyers. Naval personnel were not normally assigned small arms like the Army and Marines. So, when the watch changed on the Quarterdeck, a Gunners Mate would issue a weapon to the new watch on a hand receipt, and retrieve it after the watch was over.. They would carry the arms back and forth from the armory in these carry racks.

    On larger vessels, there was an arms locker on the bridge or Quarterdeck and the weapons would be issued that way. I was a flyer, and before each flight, an Ordnanceman would come to the Ready Room and issue us a S&W .38 Victory Model.. We would turn it in when we returned… The Navy allowed we Aircrews to carry a personnel weapon…

    Here is a photo of me in the Ready Room aboard the USS ROOSEVELT CVA-42 taken in 1962 with an issue Victory Model...Notice the rack number painted on the back of the grip, the Navy used rack numbers on small arms to make inventory and issue easier...
