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.

This one really looks staged. Still a good picture.

I'm sure the guys that were there wouldn't appreciate that.

Certainly looks like that is about to happen

I don't think that is a trip wire for a number of reasons. First off, it sticks out like dog's b******s. It isn't cammed or hidden. Secondly, it isn't taught. Could that be a scratch on the original photo or the negative?

While I'm at it, I have to wonder if that might be a photo taken during pre-deployment training on a training range. Everybody looks too clean, neat and relaxed.

I'm thinking it is from a training exercise. The cord is a lane boundary, does the background watcher (OC?) seem to have a camera (there's nothing in his right hand) and he's certainly not part of the exercise judging by his body language. I hated it when OCs would wander about 'you don't see me' but the OPFOR sure noted when an OC was in the AO.
