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.

Not much cover.
Looks like they are really hesitant to move forward.
Good thinking/survival.

Some one or something (Weapons cannister maybe) had a prickly landing in the tree in the foreground center Left. They are all to the left of the tree trunks a suggestion fire is coming from perhaps center right.

You know...tree trunks don't stop rifle fire. I think it's an out of action shot...

Trees are the only "cover" they have.
Hope they are hard (really hard!) trees.

I suppose your right Jim but in all honesty anything is better than nothing when the lead flies are buzzing about may stop a 7.92 round but not a hope if they are facing a quad 20mm.....................

A small tree may only be concealment and not cover but I damn sure wouldn't pass it up

Better up against a tree trunk than sticking out like dog's balls out in the open.

"anything is better than nothing when the lead flies are buzzing"

For sure... and it will stop a puny MP40 round or grenade shrapnel, so why not. BTW, an M1 icon

will kill you on the other side of an 18" pine tree.
