    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 ...

    Top is a 20x100mm vulcan and the bottom is a .50 BMG training round.
    Still working on the one in the middle, but leaning toward 12.7mm Sovieticon.

    vintage hunter is correct on all. The middle one is 12.7MM Sovieticon. Their version or our .50BMG-has a longer case.

    I have some of those... Here's the 12.7 in comparison to the spotter and Germanicon 13mm as well as the .50 different types of ball, tracer and AP. There are others in there too you may recognize...

    There were a couple that came back in a pocket but factually the very most has been assembled through the time since. I know where to look though. There's a 25mm bushmaster there with a training projectile that came back in the pocket of a tac vest from Afghanistan in '08 but it wasn't me. He just brought it to me...nice... 3rd in from the right 40 mms.

    I.D please

    May as well keep rolling with the shells theme. Nice collection Jim some good looking stuff there.
    Not sure of these ones I did not polish the cases the seller did although the one on the Rt is pretty nice condition the fuse comes off and I took a close up of its case rim.
    So what are they from the seller said the one on the Rt is a rare brass cased one before they went to steel!

    The one on the right is a Radway Green is it? I have one here too, RG...30mm Aden cannon? I had to make the projectile for mine though. Turned aluminum painted blue...

    Rare? Maybe, there were about a dozen when I chose mine but didn't look at them to see the mark. I didn't even find it until much later. Someone will know for sure...
