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.

I have an unissued MK1 with the paper. They want $415 for one, wow.
Reputable but pricey.

I have bought a handful of things of them and liked everything I got. Some of the ebay stuff can be had at a decent price depending on what it is.

Do any of you guys have the Tweedie Footware ammo pouches like the one listed on this site? I was looking at mine today and think they say 1958 rather than 1956. I even penciled in a note in "War Baby Comes Home" to correct the 1956 date listed there. To me it looks like the contract date was 1957, so decided a 1956 date on the pouch would be incorrect.
Thanks! - Bob

Bob,

No 1958 that I have seen.

I sent you a PM.

Here's some pictures of my Tweedie Footwear pouches. After taking a closer look, I can see that the one on the left is 1956, but the one on the right with slightly different stitching and material, appears to be marked 1958. - Bob

Boxcars of cut-up carbines! Man, that was ugly. But, every time they torch one, ours go up in value.
