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.

He couldn't even be bothered to take his Gatling Guns!

The Gatling guns would not have changed the outcome

I agree, I've walked the ground several times and been an Infantry Platoon second in command for years...I don't believe if he had todays weapons with front line load, he'd have changed things. There was a human wave dedicated to his destruction. Even the women were involved...

I see only three men's kit there...you guys really did jump heavy Gil?

Well one thing is for sure, he wouldn't have been "worse off"!

Jim,
I think it was Fathers Day for these two

, or they drew the short straw. 3 PARA always were greedy when it came to weapons.

Sadly they often did where the lads were located in Helmand, thats why they had to be prepared for every eventuality.

Well if it was the way it was then, the Indians would have been even better armed then that,
