    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 ...

    They use to remove the stacking swivel or else tape it up as it can make noise -

    A good portrayal of everything being shared be it a cig or food, looks like they have used a hexamine cube for lighting but the photographer has used the flash to get the pic as I doubt a cube would produce that much light!.
    They in a bunker or in a ship!

    At first I thought it might be a troopship but the walls look concrete and the troops look dirty and exhausted.
    Then I found this picture of a Germanicon bunker.

    Besides removing the sling swivel or else put tape around it, the fabric sling hook also had tape around it too. Heard this from my
    old First Sgt
