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.

Can not make out the photo but it almost looks like a drum on the M1928A! TSMG ?

The Marines used them for an inordinate amount of time. They stole them with the US Postal Thompsons they took when they quit guarding the mail cars...on the railway.

Marines would have used the term Liberate

The USMC also had issue 50rd TSMG drum pouches (marked USMC and contractor marked) issued during WW2. They also stole some of the
Colt 100 rd drums after guarding the mail trains in NY which were later used in the "Banana Wars" in the 20"s & early 30's

Can you imagine how heavy a gun with 100 rounds in the drum would be to carry?

**RCS** · 08-28-2020 11:03 AM

On the bright side they get progressively lighter as you shoot. It behooves you to shoot more...
