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.

Is that an 1899 Argentine Cavalry Carbine?

The one we have in the South America - Milsurp Knowledge Library is a 1909 and it's a different mount.

Looks like a 1891 Engineers Carbine, but something's not right with the nosecap. A few thousand 1891 Cavalry Carbines were modified to be Engineer Carbines by the addition of the bayonet lug and side sling attachments. The designation is 1891/31 engineer carbine. It used a highly modified, cut down M1879 Rolling Block bayonet.
