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.

What were the two I beams at the front for? Were they part of the tank bulldozer kit?

"Hedge Buster" set up?

**browningautorifle** · 10-21-2016 03:27 PM

Yes, I think it was part of the cutter for the hedgerows. Some call it the Hedge Hog, or Ram or other names...designed by Curtis Cullin...Sgt...

Lots of variations on the theme, since most were locally produced in the field:

I understand that most of the steel material for the 'hedge busters' was obtained from German icon

beach obstacles...

I also heard obstacles that were dismantled, but the origin was questionable...

Thanks for that.

The tank in picture 2 on post No. 5 looks like it is a photo of 'AFTER' as in after an explosion of some sort since the sand bags are burst and there appears to be charring on the log and front middle of the hull bottom.

Agree. Plus the right hand track looks to be partly "unravelled".
