    2 1/2 " Smoke Discharger warning

    After many hours of phone calls and emails trying to find the Culprits responsible for my last purchase and with the help of some last minute information have finally tracked them down, they are still at work but have reverted to knocking up 2 ½ inch smoke dischargers.

    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 ...

    Just thinking out aloud on the smoke discharger Big Duke. It's a lot of work for what it is - or isn't! I should think that if anyone really wanted one for a collection (or even for a restored tank of the era........) then it'd be simpler to go out and buy the biggest, doggiest old shed (a quaint old English motor trade term indicating '....... bought in, but fit only for scrap....') of a No1 deact and convert it. Using a bit of 2.5" gas pipe and other stuff from the workshop.

    We gave a few of these things away recently - to someone restoring an old tank!

    Or is there more to the thread.

    BigDuke's post was regarding someone's attempt to make a copy of a weapon that was seen in the movie 'Star Wars' (the bit when R2D2 was captured by those weird little short guys, I think). The original mock-ups for the film were apparently buggered up No.1 Mk.IIIs. His post has nothing to do with tank smoke dischargers

    It must be an age thing because wracking my brain and thinking back, I can't truly say that I've ever knowingly watched Star Wars! But I did watch Stars In Their Eyes once. Will that do? Must be the same sort of thing........... people orbiting another planet!

    Humour aside.........., in the nicest way of course but does anyone actually have one of these 2 1/2" smoke projector thinggies in their collection?

    I was thinking that it'd be a good use for a rough-as-guts or damaged/bubba-got-at SMLE in order to make it something useful in order to add it to a collection. And before you all laugh, I know they're a bit, well, almost comical, they did exist in large-ish numbers on our pre-war tanks. And like the official DP rifles, they're part of the history of the useable Lee Enfield.

    Just my thoughts after having given away a few in the past couple of years, I wish I'd kept one now
