    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 ...

    Hi Andy, I thought (hoped) the L129A1 was a keeper and had moved over to standard equipment, by all accounts a great bit of kit, or so I have heard...

    Good ( expensive ) pics of kit.. but not enough of them to take its place in the whole of the army. It only pushed accuracy out to 600m
    They would need to buy more of them with proper maintenance backup. And admit the SA80 was not up to the required battle standard ( for the last conflict!!!)
    Maybe they could teach soldiers to shoot! A competent shot can push the SA80 to 500m

    In our case, a few years back I ran a SA coaching course for my reserve unit. I saw to it they had the chance to do some iron sight use and coaching...they were the first in a decade and the last since. Now it's shoot fast and change mags. Marksmanship has dwindled. I won't preach defeat here though, better to let Sentryduty come give testimony about current deployment policies...I'm out of touch there.

    As you may know Andy within certain Regiments and Battalions the range weekend is no longer a MTD...... which to me I would of thought would be one of the compulsory ones we have to do now, seems walking round in the dark and sleeping under a tree is better than being a good competent shot..... Guess I'm lucky in having plenty of years experience of walking around in the dark normally starting around 2330 with a slight stagger and have slept comfortable under a variety of things other than trees......
