    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 ...

    From the left, the first is for an 1888 Germanicon Commision rifle.
    The fourth might be for a Frenchicon M1917 or '18 semi-auto rifle.

    correct

    the Frenchicon RSC Model 1917 semi auto clip is quite difficult to find and unique only to this rifle.

    The Germanicon Model 1888 clips are still around.

    I probably only guessed right because I might need some one day- if I ever get my rather abused rifle up and running (mostly it needs a Lebel rifle to render down!...everything but the action.)

    I'm reluctant to take a stab at the other photos in your quiz, but the RH photo looks like 7.92x57s- Maybe an '08 Maxim belt?

    The unidentified clips are 6.5 Jap and 7.7 Jap. The belt is from the BESA tank m/g (this belt happens to have Germanicon cartridges)
