    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 ...

    Little guys are made by Borg-Warner... I have some from the early MINIMI here with different test ammo in them.

    Center strip is for the BESA...

    BESA loaded with Germanicon 7,92mm Tropical, the Borg-Warner links are not for the FN Minimi or M249

    No, I wasn't suggesting they were. More like the Stoner or perhaps the belt fed version of the M16icon...?

    You are right, Stoner 63 links which have a slightly different pitch than the M27 link that is used in the M249. Some owners of the Stoner 63
    have altered their weapon to use the more available M27 links.

    more MG links

    The links on the left are Germanicon WW2 for the 7,92mm cartridge in disintegrating links that were used in aircraft machine guns (some examples MG 81 and MG 17). These links are very difficult to find and mine came from a WW2 veteran who also had the BESA belt too.
