    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 20 round magazine pouch looks different from the standard issue, notice how low the snap is located (not a Reising either) Could have been manufactured outside of the USAicon ?

    I reckon the Garandicon shooter will lose forward vision once he touches off a round in a great cloud of dust.......

    I've seen that type of five cell pouch for 20s before...I'll keep looking. I think it WAS an offshore product.

    There we go. That would make sense too since these guys would have gone through Australia on the way...

    An addendum of a link to study...the mag pouch. Australian made USMC TSMG ammo pouch? - CRAIG PICKRALL FIELD PERSONAL GEAR SECTION - U.S. Militaria Forum
