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.

Supposedly they were a universal muzzle cover, but I have had some that would not go over the M1 icon

Rifle muzzle. Perhaps a slight difference in how they were sewn.

A problem I did have with them was rust forming on the muzzle of rifles I had them on. All were U.S. issue, and I can think of no reason for the rust. Check periodically if you leave the muzzle covers on.

Exactly, Johnny Peppers, the muzzle cover is one of those items I bought and also mine is not fitting properly over my M1 icon

Garand barrel.
M1 Garand muzzle cover
I never leave it over the muzzle, I just fitted it the time necessary to shoot the photo.

Mine doesn't fit my rifle very well either. So I use it on my carbine.Attachment 33190

I see.
I guess the strip is too short for M1 icon

Garand, I can't use the popper.
