    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.

    Interesting picture. What's the ring on the right hand of the soldier on the left (as we see it) and is that an M1icon carbine trailing behind him?

    You can see from this picture why it's better to wound than to kill. If the guy was dead; one less enemy. But wounded; you've taken 3 guys off the line.

    True. A leg wound keeps him out of the fight for about three months, depending.

    If that's the case, then the carbine is his and the rifle is the wounded man's.
