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.

As a kid, in an epic moment of stupidity, I fired a pistol on horseback. After a long walk to the house, my uncle, who had been puzzled why the horse was there without me, explained the concept, "gunbroke"

A Colt potato digger straddling an elephant's back for mobility. It wouldn't stay there... Elephant-mounted machine-gun, 1914 - Rare Historical Photos

Both the US Navy and USMC adopted the 6mm Lee rifle and 6mm Colt "potato digger" in the 1890's.

Wonder if the Colt mg is still in 6mm cal ?

Nope, a tripod extension. (Mainly used for firing over high hedges.)
