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.

By the way, note the early M72 he,s carrying! They sure were handy!

Hi Mark,

this is not the nicest pic, but in my opinion it is good to show that the war has also this side of view.
Thanks and

Regards

Gunner

Mark, do you have any more info on the early M72? It looks like the first pattern with the loop on the safety arming lever. No cuffs on the Sateens? Maybe Army reserve in about 1961???

M72 Light Anti-tank Weapon System (LAW)

FM 3-23.25 Chapter 2

Not quite what I meant Mark. I used to teach those things to the recruits. I meant the soldier using it. The M1 icon

and the M72. That would be what year? Maybe an army reserve unit in the early 60's?
