    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 ...

    The standard trommel drum and hangar

    From period photos we can often see the drum hangar, but images of the trommel in use in the assault are rare. Not a surprise really
    Nonetheless it was a standard issue item to the MG08/15 team, and also used by the inter war MG08, as per the inter-war thread.

    Now that picture is very interesting! I have one of those side drums, but have no mount for it to affix to my capture 08/15. Can you take some pictures of the mounting bracket from different angles? I have a feeling I might have something like that in a parts box...........
