    Missed the Finland Field Trip?

    I have jut purchased a 1939 short rifle chambered in 7.35. It has no markings indicating it went to Finlandicon. My question, for those who know more than I do, is what happened to the almost half of produced 7.35 rifles that did not go to Finland? Did they sit out the war in some Italianicon depot, or get pressed into service? Who would have been likely to get such rifles if issued?

    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.

    They didn't sit out the war but were issued to support troops. Hard to tell how many saw combat but would expect a lot of them did as with advances through Italianicon territory, the support troops would become involved.
