    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.

    At first glance, the first shot looked like someone found a launcher embedded in a plank.

    It looks like a M7A3 for the M1icon rifle. That's the most common post war M1 rifle launcher. They go for 35-55 bucks around here. They are unlawful in kalifornia.

    Embedded in a plank? Are you It is laying on the wrapper it was in.

    It belongs to my cousin who found it in my 92 year old uncle's house. He was a First Lt in WW2. He is looking for info on it. He doesn't have a garand. He, as I, collect carbines.

    Who said it was in Kalifornia? I just happen to live there is all. I know, can't wait to move either. Retire next year.

    You are correct Tom. Marked Acme 7266167 on the right side and Launcher Grenade M7A3 on the left side. Unused condition.
