    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 ...

    Half track with a gas reactive star, GI wearing HBTs, finger on the trigger and USAicon number on the hood is wrong color blue drab. Hum, rifle has or looks to have a flush nut sight and grooved band. This is obviously a staged photo but when??? Maybe from a movie? Weren't the HBTs later?

    Great photo, thanks!

    Hey Bill,

    I'm sure it was staged. I found it at SHORPY.com. They've got a lot of neat old photos to wander through and waste some serious time.

    Take care,
