    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.

    Is that a cloud of smoke from firing the rifle with the early not fully smokeless powder, and if so, it seems may be the firing in damp weather/air. Or is the cloud from something else??

    I wondered that myself. It appears to be emanating from the ground??? Whatever it is that shutter's timing was right on!

    I notice that it is in line with the muzzle. I wonder whether it is a dry day and the shock wave from the muzzle is kicking up a cloud of dust?

    Dust blown up by the muzzle blast and gas from the gas piston is my guess.
