    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.

    That would usually be reserved for the palace guard of some pompous dictator...usually. Then they're found lying on the steps of the palace, never been shot and only been dropped once.

    Saddam Hussein used to own that gold plated one. But some of the big time drug lords had similar guns too. Saddam also used to own a gold plated sniper rifle too.

    I think that the picture above shows the AK with the stock folded up on it. The stock folds down and forward under the barrel. But you may be correct in that the muzzle break is definitely different. of course maybe Saddam had a nice collection of the things though.
