    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 ...

    I think they are a wee bit too close to each other.

    Seems to me that the photographer is on the wrong side of the mine clearing. Just saying.

    Is the marine on the left wearing sunglasses for mine clearing or has he got two black eyes?

    The cool thing is I have all three of the implements the boys were planning to use. My thought would have been a piece of C4 and 50' of Det Cord, now those I don't have. My FIL brought the machete back from the Pacific, he was a Navy aircraft mechanic who was mostly island bound. Unfortunately the scabbard did not accompany the blade.
