    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    David, thanks for the pic. You can clearly see #29=30-31&32 on the table. He is receiving, looks like 130 or 138. So they must have had had a weapons check out system were you received an assigned number? Cool picture, lots of carbines, that's were all the dings come from.....Frank

    That's how we used to draw weapons, rack number and sign here. You held on to the small stuff until you changed weapon type.

    David, I just look at your other SAC picture thread, and the Airman is holding #138. Must be the same one from the check out pic.

    The only SAC bases I was on ran B-58s. That would be Little Rock AFB and Bunker Hill AFB.

    When where you at Grissom/Bunker Hill?
    My father was born at Bunker Hill. Gramps was with the 305th and sent direct to sea and grandma stayed there with the two kids for a while.

    The picture was taken at a SAC base in Maine. I cannot remember the base name. If I remember right there was also a SAC base just outside of Plattsburg NY too.

    They changed the name after I left. Summer 65 to late fall 67. That is when I was there.
