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.

Just a question who was allowed to carry 1911's most of the officers I see in Marks & other pics have them also either carrying a M1 icon

Carbine or a Thompson obviously this chap prefers a Garand.

Is that middle guy packing a flamethrower?

**CINDERS** · 12-25-2018 04:16 AM

sure is

Marines by the look. The pistol is issued according to the TO&E, table of org and equipment. It's not being allowed, as everyone wanted a pistol for backup when the major weapon packed up, machine gunners needed one and others that didn't get an issue close in defense weapon...I'll bet the TO&E is here somewhere if you look.

I would want one no matter what I carried just for piece of mind. Even carrying that nice BAR

**RASelkirk** · 12-25-2018 10:44 PM

That guy with the BAR makes it look like a carbine. Always heard the smallest guy in the platoon got "stuck" with it...

Could that be Korea?
It doesn't look too hot....

Officers in line companies were supposed to be issued rifles (remember Band of Brothers movie) often they had their own pistols too. Some were issued or obtained carbines,
we are talking WW2 and Korea.

Pistols were issued to the guys that carried the M79 during Viet Nam
