    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.

    Each layer is ten and the stacks appear to be eighteen or twenty. Twenty would make sense to be two hundred rifles per pile for easy counting...times how many stacks. I could hand bomb a stack into my truck if given a few minutes.

    Can't see clearly, goes too blurry when zooming in.

    I can certainly see piles of MG34 or MG42 at the back at the end of the row behind the guy standing in the middle. You can see the distinctive crescent shape butt's.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    Its not quite all matching though being bolt and buttplate miss-matched. Does still have an original German sling though.
    I've only seen a couple of ex "Norge" K98icon's in the original 7.92mm, rare rifles in the UKicon (as said, the vast majority are .30-06), any chance of sharing a few pics with the rest of the anoraks!

    With you there, a good shooting condition WW1 era G98 has to be one of the nicest to shoot and most accurate of all the Milsurp bolt guns, the K98 is rather sharp in its recoil in comparison...

    Perhaps a nice pile of Kongberg 1911's Jim .... Now that's a stash I would head for in this version of Supermarket sweep!

    I'll sort a couple out tomorrow, and post, as only have a few close up details of it after taken apart, so as to check with the 'expert collectors' about numbers and stuff after I first got it.

    The G33/40 mountain carbine is even more vicious that the K98kicon! The ex-Noggie 30-06 K98kF1 I had previously was more vicious than a G33/40 carbine!!
    A couple of weeks ago at Bisley, the club shooting next to my club at 300 yrds, were shooting a fine selection of Milsurps, which made a pleasant change from all the plastic fantastics usually seen there, and allowed some nice mutual rifle admiration between club members
    It was the first time in years I'd come across someone else with a K98k, in fact there were 2 of them, plus a couple of very nice G98's, a couple of K31icon's, a handful of SMLE & No.4's including a nice 4T and a few Mosins among the next door neighbours lot. My club only had a P14, 2 x No.4's, 2 x No.5's and my K98k.

    Before the Beeb's coding took over the page there yesterday, I was trying to say that we should not be too quick to judge the French military of 1940. In fact many, probably most units fought hard and well - the Germanicon losses speak to that.

    The performance of the BEF, particularly the high command, was nothing to crow about, and but for the French holding much of the Dunkirk perimeter, how many would have escaped?

    And but for Churchill and the Channel the end would have been the same as that of France.

    I’m reading “To Lose a Battle”, from Alistair Crowe.
    Very interesting, and really explains the genesis of that gigantic defeat.
    I imagined a different reality.
