    Thought I'd add this because of what we just talked about. Just for info sake...Wiki if you can believe what they say... The big one is STILL a monster.

    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 ...

    Kind of suspect it was too heavy for European bridges at 95 tons. The Jagdtiger at 71 tons was like that.

    It would just roll over it. We had one of those in Camp Borden Ontario on loan I think. What a tiny tank. Mostly for anti personnel it would seem.

    There is one in the grass area in front of the squad bays at Camp San Luis also. I’d compare it size wise to an Chevy S10 Blazer. I’m 6’4” and 260 and I could not even begin to get through the hatch! I think a guy 5’4” 130 might be able to operate it without too much difficulty.
