    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 ...

    Kursk

    The Soviets knew the Germanicon plans to attack the Kursk salient and were waiting for them. Britishicon cryptographers at Bletchley Park had broken the Lorenz cipher. The fifth member of Cambridge Five Sovieticon spy ring, John Cairncross, had sent the Soviets decrypted German messages.

    7,92mm German links

    Interesting 7,92mm links that could be used in the MG 34 and MG 42 but designed for aircraft m/g'

    The disintegrating links were a breakthrough designed for aircraft, trying to determine who and exactly when is difficult. It was either at the end of WW1 or just after. It added a modicum of weight but got rid of the bulk of belts. In WW1 the aircraft with Vickers and Maxim had to have large drums to accumulate their expended belt...that's why Lewis guns had some favor. The ground gun pictured is still using of course, the 50 rd joinable non disintegrating belts.
