    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 ...

    I buy this bipod to put on ZB26 Airsoft Gun.
    The bipod that has this airsoft gun does not have the measurements as the original.

    Yes John, They were all DOT manufacture. All of them also had the Izzy Star with a crooked 'Y' in the centre. Property stamps.
    Strangely, all weapons also still were fully Waffen Ampt Inspection marked as well.
    You would have thought the Israelis would have removed them. As anything connected with the Nazi Regime, might have been a painful reminder of
    The German 'Activities' towards the Nation?

    A similar situation occurred with the Ex Nazi K98kicon Rifles as well. The Izzies rebarreled them to 7.62mm, but also left the Nazi Markings intact.
    But they also, went to the trouble of Fire Branding '7.62' into the bottom of the Butt Stock area. To indicate the calibre conversion. Paradox?......

    Those MG34 with vz26 bipod was made in Zbrojovka Brno ( born place ZB machine guns, Bren, BESA, etc )
    Nazis moved production of the MG34 into Zbrojovka Brno in 1941 ( DOT is for Zbrojovka Brno ). Those machine guns with vz26 bipod was short rerun and assembled from stock components which majority was sold to new state of Israel. Czechoslovakiaicon sold to Israel between 1946 and 1947 significant mount of weapons from pistols up to tanks and even fighter planes. One whole division was secretly trained in mountains away from any public eye.

    The MG 34 was offered commercially by BRNO after the war because it was a gun they could build and for which they had a good supply of components. Most were sold to the Israelis, but others went elsewhere. Some were code dot45; I have seen at least one, near new, that was unmarked, and obviously came from the factory that way.

    The ZB26/30 bipod is actually one of the best ever designed, a far superior unit to the bipod on the Germanicon MG 34 or 42. It is very steady, adjustable, spring-loaded, instantly deployed or folded and stays put.
