    Which forumer lives in Austria........

    I know that there's a couple of forumers out there from Austriaicon, but which one of you lives the closest to a place called LEOBEN?

    Step forward one pace, I have found something in our archive that will be of interest to you

    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 ...

    There's a Google map of who's online (one in Austriaicon, currently) but no names are attached. (It's in the "community" pull down menu in the header above.) In the limited time I've got (back to work...) that's all that was found so far.

    Hello Peter,
    I am from Austriaicon living in Vienna at the moment. The region of LEOBEN is familiar to me I spent one or two days of my life on my last posting down there for training.
    Southern Austria was occupied by the Britishicon and I know there was a british camp until 1955 near Leoben.
    I am very intrested what you have found in the archive.

    Wow, that one is cool. Received it today. Unfortunately the last pages are missing, but all in all very interesting to know they did competitions in 1946. Thanks for sharing it!
