    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 ...

    That's allot of smoke grenades in the 2nd pic, could it be a LZ or evac point for wounded! (Not shown in the pic!)

    I never painted my hands, I wore gloves. As for the first picture, for sure that man is "in country." As for the second the guy just forded some stream as he's soaked from the waist down. And carrying a M.G. tripod and a pack frame with ammo. No blank adaptor so it ain't training.

    Well, you were there so I won't start arguing. You say they're in country, OK they're in country.

    Just saying but having live grenades for a photo op in training seems odd. I'd guess the guy is Force Recon as he has corporals rank on his K-Bar, the Army had Spec-4's. There is also a globe and anchor sticker on the door frame. Upon close examination he appears to have gloves hanging from his gear on the right side in back. And if the second picture is training it's without blank ammo.

    tripod in photo

    Ed, you got good eyes

    note the tripod has the adopter for the M60 attacked.

    Easy part to misplace
