    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 ...

    They're to fill the belt for looks. That isn't something military.

    Claims that it is for single round loading or allows the bolt to cycle with out locking back for dry firing

    I made a similar device with a block of wood fitted inside of a regular 8-round clip, I used it for dry firing the rifle M1icon rather than have to unlock the operating rod handle each time I pulled it too far to the rear. Also useful for practicing sustained fire if you have a coach available to push the operating rod handle for you. Never saw this particular device before but the groove on both ends is a sure sign it was a range practice device, I don't think intended for single loading as it would be awkward to load a round with the bolt closed, which this device would cause.

    Yes, that's in the book. This other thing however is fantasy.
