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.

I have seen a lot of those cleaning rod section cases, different size drawing numbers and different color canvas - but never seen one marked USMC ? but they could have marked them.

Here are two examples of WW1 shovel covers issues to US Navy ships, one is marked USMCAttachment 53989 Attachment 53990

Just received this from a dealer of Surplus Parts and Webgear. He stated: The markings were put on by the Marine Corp., not the contract. The maker FAL was Fals Manufacturing in Des Moines, Iowa. The production was from Oct 44 thru Jan 45.
