    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).

    The more pics of Korea I see, the more enemy weapons I see in use. So you men that were there, was it for want of more firepower or what? One pic shows even an enemy anti tank grenade at the ready. Check back on the last six or so Korea posts and see what I mean? I understand the vast superior numbers and all. More loaded weapons on hand and transition on empty. Less down time for reloading. It's just that through my 35 years in the army we preached not using the enemy weapons unless in emergency. Here I thought you men had all the ordnance you needed!

    Interesting comment.... my Uncle Richard served in the Marines and the frostbite on his foot was just one of the tales that could be drawn out of him on warm July nights sitting around the barn after putting up hay. Seems he spoke often of heing equipped with 4 or more weapons when dug in ( foxhole).

    Though his health is failing, his still keeps a very well stocked closet locked with enough firepower to make me wonder about the scars he must carry from Korea.
