Weird place for a Lee Enfield receiver

I'll see if I can dig out a photo of the beaufighter as it stands now. The Mosquito is my favorite of favorites, but I have a soft spot for the Beaufighter.

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.

MKVII, that picture looks like it was taken with the major's own camera. Note the empty camera case on his belt.

That pistol looks like it has a cut out for a stock attachment on the butt. Mauser Broomhandle? I haven't seen that type of holster before either.

Good pic Mk7. Looks like he gave his camera to his crew-mate to take the picture for the wife. He's got a pair of old original No2 Binos too! Anyone have any idea what sort of tank it is?

Hey, no cheek from the wild antipodeans Bindi or we'll be forced to send a gun-boat round to sort you all out!!!!!!!

Small world, there! I helped a little on the rebuild of its horizontal and vertical stabilizers when those parts were in Griffin, Ga. (several of the recovery team members live(d)) around there. Don Brooks (the ice drill inventor and early investor) lives about 1 1/2 hours south.

It looks like a .380" No2 Enfield that he's got in the picture. What looks like the cut-out for a shoulder stock seems to be the ribbing along the bottom of the frame.

I sure would like to view those photos of the Glacieer Girl Alfred if you have the time.

Post them for us....................burgie

The 4 inch smoke projector was the last gasp of many a 1910 Mk. III Ross rifle..

**Mk VII** · 10-05-2009 06:14 AM

It's a Light Tank Mk.VI - a sort of militant pram on tracks with a Vickers gun.

I think we should arm ourselves with a couple more of these little tanks, take two or three of them to the US, Canada icon

and Australia icon

, and when the Colonials and Antipodeans get restless, then we can sort them out!

I'll try to find them in the next few days, I'm cleaning up the storage rooms and they are in there somewhere.
I find I have quite a few photos that might be of interest, every thing from a light muzzle loading mountain gun with built in cassion I found in California to photos my sister took of arms museums in England icon

,Scotland, and Germany icon

.

I used to take trips to museums around the US and fill many rolls of 35mm.
Many have yet to be developed.
