    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 ...

    That looks to be the way that I have it rigged and how I use it.

    Yes, it appears to be correct. There was a thread on that very thing here someplace a few months back.

    The rifle in the first picture has the lower half of the sling let out all the way onto itself. This is not a classic parade "Sling Arms" position but obviously a field position. It might be set up to give the individual an easier carry or possibly for use as a hasty sling.

    Thanks Griff, thats what I was referring to. If you look close the guy on the left in the 2nd pic has his the same way. I have never noticed that method before in any pics or videos, but I am now going to keep my eye out. I figure out in the field slings were left loose to be readily shouldered, so to each his own. Thought it was interesting, and I really like the 1st pic. 1st pic is captioned Guam and the second Okinawa.

    We used to let our slings out that way to go all the way over our head and helmet in a hurry. Such as a case where you need both hands to aid the wounded.

    If it helps any, google Turner Slings, they have an excellent tutorial on how to attach and use the M1907.
