    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 ...

    When you take a closer look at that pic, it looks like the cocking handle is forward.

    Jim,
    Of course as is in keeping with tradition, from one RSM to the other

    Vincent,
    The threat had deminished as Rex Hunt had surrendered, so It was more of a guard taking prisoners in for debriefing/and stripping. Once that was done, they were all sent back to the UKicon paid for by the Argentinian Government, to restock and get back into the fray!!

    Nice one Gil, no mess up, it was what it was a "Bridge too Far", Brilliant film though when you think how many of the stars had seen service life and a few who were in WW2, there is a behind the scenes film of the film with interviews form the stars well worth watching, when you think 32 years earlier some of them were actually fighting on the side they portray in the film.

    When I was looking for a Matchless WD 350 G3L, there was one for sale for some time (out my price range) that had been in the film....

    I always say to people, the film too watch made in 1945-6 with the whole of Arnhem/Oosterbeek still in tatters, is THEIRS IS THE GLORY.

    Every person in that film took actual part and were recruited to re enact the battle. The down side there are a few corny bits like "Hugh, take that PIAT and sort out that Jerry tank" and one liners like that, which were donw to the non actors to enhance.

    It was however, a documentary come normal acting film at the same time, fairly unique at the time, directed by Brian Desmond Hirst, who spotted the young Roger Moore and set him off on the road of acting.

    He also directed The Malta Story/Scrooge/Dangerous Moonlight and Hungry Hill, so he was indeed an acomplished Director when he did Theirs is the Glory.

    Yes, two C1 SMGs. The one on the table even has the mandrels for the magazines. Also, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Crater (Aden) from the look of it? I couldn’t get the page to translate properly. There’s a beautiful Andrewski tube gun and a Mk5 with studs for a rail and drooped cocking handle. There are couple of Wise Lite Arms SBR’s (no bayonet lugs). One is interesting as you can see the muzzle flash and the bolt has only moved a little. I think the vertical magazine housing gun is also a WLA creation.
