    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 ...

    Agreed. Guys in back don't seem to comprehend the situation just yet.

    The TC is not standing up in the top hatch, either.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    The "tank" in this image was one of the M36 tank destroyer series, probably a 90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36B1. The exact model is obscured by the personal equipment attached to the open top gun shield.

    As to what is happening apparently the photographer was unaware or unconcerned of the "action" happening behind him, and that you're reading into this image.

    Maybe he's behind the next forward (tank)...? I think we're reading the body language of the medic correctly. Combat photogs are just that, under fire too...

    I find it interesting that the rifles are still slung.

    Looking at the 'action', I wonder if they've just had a few mortar rounds lobbed their way land at their front.
