    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.

    Some MG08 Manuals.

    Not often you see translated weapon manuals but here the Britishicon unusually copied the Frenchicon

    MG08 in the carry position

    Apart from trench mounts the MG08 from period evidence was used without its sled. The gun was carried by one man and either placed on the ground or used with the MG08/15 bipods or T Gewehr bipod (as shown). I assume it must have shaken quite a bit but as an area weapon that would not have mattered much.

    Digging through the MG library and found these. Might be of interest to someone.
