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.

What are those rolls several guys are carrying? Ain't issue.

**browningautorifle** · 01-07-2014 08:18 PM

Are they sleeping bags? Are they tents?

**Bob Seijas** · 01-08-2014 09:04 AM

I mean the smaller ones in the top pic. I see three of them. They look like pads to sleep on.

**browningautorifle** · 01-08-2014 10:01 AM

Could they possibly be their coats rolled up on top of the pack?

**Bob Seijas** · 01-08-2014 11:01 AM

Not those either -- look at the guy right in the center foreground, he has one under his left arm. Two guys 4 and 5 back from him also have them. The guy in the back row who is looking right at the camera also has one slung on his back.

Now I see...they DO look like the thermal rest sleeping pads we now issue in Canada icon

That would make the photo relatively modern, wouldn't it? Like maybe post-war Germany icon

? Is Elvis in that column someplace? LOL
