    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 ...

    I had read about that, was left in a small town as a monument. It was said that the gun wasn't even deactivated, and would fire

    Looks like an ISU 152...there's a few parts back and forth between models but they didn't throw anything away. A tank destroyer, it weighed in at about 46 tons...I know a guy that would take it as is.

    I doubt anyone has any ammo for that gun anymore anyway.

    Love practicality of the Russianicon technology at the time, so fast forward to today and good to see adjustable metrics and sledge hammers still have a place in getting a Russian SPG running let alone no safety specs when oxy cutting!
