    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 ...

    He also has them in backwards making it more difficult to grab with sweaty hands and awkward to load having to turn them.

    Bottom bandoleer, far left round has a dark colored tip, single AP?

    It could be the photo, but the case necks almost look like a lacquered steel composition, Wolf production .30-06?

    Ammo sources in hotspots can be hard to trace, in Afghanistan we would recover everything from 1979 vintage Sovieticon cases to one year old S&B, and stuff in between.

    They could also just be scrubby ratty cartridges that have been around a while...

    Quite possible, hard to glean a lot from that photo conclusively.

    Agreed, I'd love to lay hands on all that after HE was done...to examine it.
