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.

WOW. Finally I see a real one. The carbines too...and the Jeep plate, done so you can read it in the mirror following you. Guy up front wearing the seldom seen "Jungle boots" of the era.

The front left....er....right tire is a rare implement tire used on very early prototype BRCs and MAs.

Must be an Aussie jeep. Steering wheels on the "wrong" side.

The soldier with the jungle boots mentioned has what kind of helmet?

**BEAR** · 11-30-2020 09:14 PM

Off the top of my head I'll say that looks like a sun helmet. I like the NY license plate. Is that a gas trap garand?

I just don't think so...this far along in the war. I know on some forums they just JUMP to decide it's a gas trap, but I don't think so...

No, very early "pre-pre-production" Land-Rover.
