    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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.

    Does picture #3 look like they have the scabbard on the bayonet, was Risk Management at work during wartime in the early 40's? They seem to be using the 16" blades in these photo's.

    I think it might be a good idea with green troops to avoid unecessary injury. If I was doing it I might have them on...What I was looking at was pic 2. The two rifles next to the photog, are they gas trap guns? Silver gas cylinders? The front sight looks awfully boxy for the gas prot rifle. I can't blow them up to tell. And the nearest Sgt seems to have a carbine on his lap too.

    Not that it's a bad thing.
    Regards, Jim
