    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 ...

    Is that a shotgun he has slung?

    I think it's a rifle, he has a bandoleer there as well. I don't recall seeing any Paratroops in Franceicon with shotguns...in any photo to date. But he has no buttstock on the M1icon T-Gun, you couldn't hide that under the sleeve.
    Regards, Jim

    Could be the wooden stock for the Thompson as it looks like it may be removed from the gun, Ray

    You can just make out the Garandicon muzzle sticking out by the Field Dressing on his helmet

    Regarding the stock slung around the back of the closest para, the sling buckle looks to be a Kerr type.

    The M1icon Thompson didn't have the round profile of a grip...
