    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 ...

    Back in June 2015, 5 Maxims were found inside a concrete wall of an old mill that was being demolished. They were WW1 trophies that were put there by the NZicon Police in the early 1930's due to fears of an uprising because of the Great Depression. Of the 5, an MG08/15 went to a local museum as a relic, one MG08 was so badly damaged that it was only good for parts, and the other three guns I have now restored to firing condition (1x Russianicon M1905 and 2x MG08's). This restoration has taken me 3 years of effort but with pleasing results. The M1905 and DWM MG08 #613 (1909) are pictured.

    woodsy, have you ever watched the firearms history youtube channel "C&Rsenal"?

    they are currently working their way through the firearms of ww1, with 76 episodes to date. averaging about an hour long each.
    they go through the devolopment, adoption etc of the firearms, explain the action and show the disassembly.
    they then fire them and review it in comparison to other ww1 firearms.

    they are currently trying to find a MG08 that they can dissassemble and fire.

    they have also stated that after the ww1 series the firearm they most want to do an episode on is the charlton.

    they are well worth watching even if you can't help them out.

    this is their current episode. (well it would be if i could get the link to work...)
