    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Good use of Japaneseicon munitions boxes, appears the G I may have a trench fighting knife as the handle has a guard surrounding it unless the pouches behind are perfectly aligned to give that impression.

    Looks like a M55 Reising SMG peeking out behind his boot.

    Not really a hard call. Look at the trigger guard directly under the mag in the pic and then look where the trigger guard is on the M55. It's so far down you wouldn't see it. Also, you can see the pistol grip in the pic under the trigger guard and the M55 doesn't have the same thing. So...disagree away...
