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.

Soldier on the left with the carbine looks to have a 98K bayonet on his side.

This picture has trouble written all over it. Rubble fighting like this has to suck really bad!

This is why we initially try to take a town unsmashed. We'd rather break things as we go than have them dig into the rubble...natural defenses...and I hate stumbling around through that stuff too.

When it's secure, they should look around for cellars, Prum is a great wine town

My dad told me a story about that sort of thing in an Italian icon

town...took out an MG in a wine cellar, I guess it took a while to get his subunit re-started... You have to make sure the cellar is clear you know...

If I was that sniper dont think I'd visit that window twice.
