    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 ...

    I have a feeling it was already knocked out.

    Perhaps but the explosion cloud on the tank looks like a fresh hit.

    There doesn't appear to be any track on the left front drive of the tank. I'm guessing it was a knocked out tank and possibly used on the day to field test the bazookas' effectiveness.

    Exactly, that is a hallmark of out of action equipment, that or raised fully skyward. Anything else could be mistake from a distance as still fighting.

    Looks like the track nearest the camera is missing and just the front sprocket is visible?
