    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    O'er! the positioning of that M-1 is rather delicate on the monster G.I!

    I thought at one point we had uncovered that the men here were Marine Raiders in the early days...thus the painted cam on helmets.

    I wondered if they might have belonged to the 82nd Airborne Div? They had painted camo on their helmets in Sicily and Italyicon in 1943. But the rest of the gear doesn't look quite right.

    They could be airborne a couple of them have trousers that look the part, but I don't think they are Marines--none of the gear looks stolen LOL,

    M3 knife, shoulder holster (.45?). Not your average infantry weapons. Maybe they are Airborne?
