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.

The cover is actually what caught my attention... the funny thing is they labeled the soldier a "Bataan rifleman" but it's actually a soldier from the 1st Filipino Infantry being formed at that time in the US. I bought the magazine for the cover but found many interesting reads inside the magazine.

Aside form the sighting article, here's another good read:

That person has an M1 icon

in his left hand. Is he grimacing because he just realized you DON'T have to pull the grenade pin with your teeth ???
