    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 ...

    Never ever having been a "Redleg"so I never manhandled artillery pieces (except pack howitzers)... why do the 2 guys on the barrel look like they are working against each other?

    Weight on the barrel to lift the trail to be able to swing the gun around. Probably to align the trail to hook up the towing vehicle.

    I think they're just trying to get it moving.

    I think they are pushing down on the barrel, to lift the rear and allow it to start moving

    Yes, they are pushing down to raise the rear out of the mud.

    They would probably too. There must have been some reason for all that sweat.

    I think they're limbering it up instead of ceasing fire. The trails are long and you can't back too close...anyway...
