    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 ...

    Ok whats on the front left of the tank looks like a wicker basket with the plant still in there taking camouflaging to the next level also are they going to use the chicken wire in front as well..............!!!
    Seems funny to disguise everything else and leave the gun tube glaringly bare like that.

    That isn't gun tube, It's a hollow tree trunk.

    The "basket" on the front of the hull is a roll of barbed wire. The "plant" is the camouflage and headlight protective frame visible inside the roll of barbed wire. As to the "hollow tree trunk" is that intended to be a joke?

    Some of you need to get your glasses prescription renewed or find your glasses before you view these images.

    I take it the rifle on the back of the tank is supposed to be the M1icon? Looks like a 1903 rifle...but for sure there are some back behind the turret.

    Yes it was a toss up in my view for a M1 Picture - Could be an 03A3 with a grenade launcher - there were some long rifles on the second tank

    That doesn't matter anyway...we still look at all these in the same light. We parse them to the nth degree...consume them.
