Afghans Rediscover The Lee-Enfield

If memory serves me correctly, one old trick (about the turn of the 20th century in the Indian Army) was to leave "clips" of 0.303 ammo around that had been "slightly modified" by use of dynamite rather than cordite by the local IA armourer. Spectacular results when said NW Frontier sniper wannabe took up the second pressure! Dave_n

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.

Same trick was used in Viet Nam. It got so the VC would not use AKs because so many had been injured by "defective ammo."
