    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.

    Note the warping on the barrel and gas cylinder of the second M1icon

    looks like square notch receiver in background

    I see a plastic bag over the muzzle, I fail to see any warping.

    I wonder if the muzzle cover could be aluminum foil? To me it looks like some kind of Thanksgiving dinner is happening because that looks too big to be a chicken leg, looks more like a turkey leg they are eating, with rolls and an apple and what looks like mashed potatoes. I don't know how they prepared or packaged those type of servings but aluminum foil might have played a part like wrapping the turkey legs and the GI may have removed his turkey leg and put it around his muzzle before eating. Just my WAG
