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.

Both are great pictures. In The 1st. one, the Marine is armed with a carbine with attached grenade launcher and a grenade on his pack. He also looks to have the handle of a pick-matock on the back of his pack. The pick-matock is in the canvas case under the pick. The walking Marines seem to be carrying alot of extra gear. The 2nd. pic speaks for itself......Frank

Is the walking Marine armed with a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in the 1st picture??
