    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.

    Who's got better AFV than me?

    What did that heap of scrap start out as, the road wheels look Germanicon, but I am not recognizing the hull shape.

    Is it 35% of a German Half-track?

    That looks a bit better. That's what I was thinking at first. What's left of it.

    Is it just a freakish line up of something on the AFV with the muzzle of the GI's rifle but is that an Energa grenade on the end of that Garandicon (Was the Garand used for them or just the A3's-4 bolt rifles)

    It looks like an M22 smoke grenade to me.

    The Energa was first produced in the 1950's


    It does not look like an M9A1 anti tank grenade.

    Also, if it was a M9 you would question the wisdom of strolling the battle field with an armed M9 one stumble and it could be all over.

    But G.I.'s do dumb things from time to time
