    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 ...

    I like these old photos of the men and women who supported the war efforts from the home front.
    Thanks, and keep them coming.

    They called it "Canning" and did it for long term storage. They did carbines and rifles...and we all want some. Everyone dreams of some warehouse somewhere still holding them.

    Definitely. And who then call us here and tell they have some stuff for real lovers, not for the market. For us, who deserve all those gats!!!

    I do not know how true it is but i had heard that some of m1 returns from Greece came packed in cans. Probably an urban legend.

    Possible, they may have received them like that and they just sat. CMPicon would have broken those down anyway.
