    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.

    Mine is Covid CDC compliant because the blast is very effective in incentivizing social distancing at the range.

    I recall years ago seeing either a picture or a short video of an M44 being fired at dusk. The sun had already set but there was still just enough light to see the target & the shooter. Needless to say, the blast that came out of that muzzle literally looked like a flamethrower, a ball of fire that reached out 6-8 feet and lit up the whole area. My first reaction was: can you imagine back in WWII the look on the Germanicon's faces seeing a whole line of Russians charging at them with those guns a-blazing? Yeah, I'd be throwing my hands up in the air too.....

    I think they rather mowed them down...
    They were used enough to the Russianicon material superiority.

    The "muzzle effect" from issue ball in the old 8 x 56R M95 Steyr carbines is pretty wild.

    Recoil is a bit of a wake-up call, as well.

    Amen to that. M95 Steyr probably the meanest recoil I've ever felt, shoulder black-n-blue for days afterwards....
