    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 ...

    Hi MajorUSARet

    You posted the link to your photobucket account when I was posting your photos.

    If you go to the photo in photobucket that you want to post, put your mouse under it and copy 'Direct link' -

    Then come back to the page where you want to post your photo and click on the little box that looks like it has a tree in it.



    'Paste' the URL you copied from Photbucket into the box that opens -



    Click 'OK' under the box and your image(s) show up on the screen in your post.

    Personally I'd start with the one that has been used the longest, a 1911, then a 1911 A1. But if you are on a budget, surplus rifles are cheaper.

    Some of his C96 photos:











    If you are looking at the entire album, just left click in the "IMG code" box to highlight the link then right click the "copy" prompt. Return to your unfinished post, reactivate it by a left click (if required to make the cursor blink) and then right click when the cursor is where you want it. Then left click the "paste" button. Lots o' clicking, but not hard if I can do it!

    Oh, if you are looking at individual photos in the album, just left click in the "IMG code" box and it'll auto copy! (The little box will flash yellow and "say" "copied, then return to the code line. Muy easy.
