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.

My guess would be San Diego, no mountains like that at P.I., only sand. He looks alot like you too Bill. You must be very proud of him. I wish him good luck. Semper Fi, Joe

Never been there Joe. That's why the ask...

Fellas, I am so very proud of my son Jeff! I live vicariously through him and his stories. Jeff is a lance corporal in an MP unit. This photo below was a true highlight in my life! I love the bottom photo of Jeff during training at SOI in San Diego, albeit, Jeff is looking right at the camera! Ha Ha

Joe, if you hold my baby pictures against Jeff's baby pictures, the only way to tell the difference is mine are black and white!

Jim, There was a time I wished I was "never there" either. LOL

Probably while at the hands of some DI or another. Contemplating life in the pushup position...

Great pics and I bet you are proud. I have a question about that second pic. The barrel profile is not an M4 stepped barrel. Is it a rubbie duckie? Or do they actually issue carbines other than M4's with a straight barrel? I have seen a few of these in pictures or videos, but not very often.

**Bill Hollinger** · 07-10-2012 12:24 PM

Thank you very much. I noticed that the barrel wasn't stepped as well and suspect it is rubber training carbine. Note there is not much of a sight channel in the carry handle. BTW, sorry for highjacking this thread of Veloce's
