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.

Interesting.

Both wearing their splinter pattern Zeltbahn's as well, as camo smocks.

Staged photo I would guess given that the guy in the left background seems to be siting in Feldgrau uniform looking over at them.

Either way could mean the weapons previous owner no longer needs it!

It looks like a good photo for a firearms safety poster. Don't shoot your buddy in the chest with a .303 from 12 inches away! Salt Flat

I'm sure that that is a still taken from the wartime training film 'I am a sniper'. They were using British icon

weapons doctored to look like the enemy. I could be wrong. I contacted the British Film Archive who took over all the old War Office training films from the old AKC and they don't have it. Anyone out there remember the AKC....., Roy?

Thought it didn't look quite right Peter...

Certainly a still as opposed to a photograph, looks that way anyway..

I know what KFC is, if that helps?

I'll buy that idea....very plausible.

Just noticed there's a 4th guy in the photo....centre rear, and while very dark and hidden, the outline of the steel helmet he's wearing looks more US M1 icon

than German icon

?

Although given the choice I would prefer Roy's KFC...
