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.

You know that's the first time I've actually seen the carbine pouches holding M1 icon

clips. You can tell immediately. I tried it and it didn't work well, so I thought it might just be a fairy tale.

I believe the early carbine pouches were not cut for Garand icon

clips . The later ones were . I believe there is also a carbine pouch made with a partial stich across it near the bottom. The carbine clip rests on the stiches , a M1911 clip fits between the stiches and rest on the pouch's bottom.

I believe those combination 1911/carbine mag pouches were U.S. icon

That's another one I've heard about but not seen.
