    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 ...

    Not sure the camel appreciates the report of a 30/06 round, ejected cartridge case just in front of end of the fore stock

    The original camel jockey...I think what's happening is the camel is about to catch the case in his teeth. Well trained. Wonder if he can load clips?

    He (the driver) may wish he had provided hearing protection to his ride or at least be prepared to grasp the "steering wheel" between his legs lest he becomes hoisted on his own petard.

    TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) wrote about the time he and his Arab force were charging (on camels) an Ottoman Turk force they were battling in open desert. He was shooting his Webley as they charged forward and place a round squarely through the back of his camels head. Needless to say, the camel dropped like a bag of sh*t* and launched Lawrence head first to terra firma where he remained unconscious until well after the battle was over.

    Lesson learned: Don't shoot over a moving camel's head when riding it.

    I noted that the camel operator is wearing woodland Camo which has be "obsolete" in US service for some time

    Interestingly reading their website, they ran their annual competition last year using WWI era arms to celibrate the Centary of the Great Arab Rebellion in 2016.
