    WW2 Carbine Late Features

    Found this on another forum. Looks like late '44 or early 45. Caption said Franceicon after several months in combat.

    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 don't have CCNL's but did some reading in the WB books recently. Read that Winchester shipped its first carbines with adjustable sights on June 21 '44. Also found that in May '44, Inland was still shipping 2/3 of theirs with "flip" sights. - Bob

    Agree Jim,

    Pipe may be from The Alps.
    Music: Something from 'The Sound of Music' or 'Danny Boy'

    Amazing how Expensive Pipes can be. Wife bought me a Italianicon one years ago that ran nearly $300 which I thought was crazy. Little did I know how pricey they could be. I can still hear the 'Cracking sound' when I got in the truck and my brother had it lit and bit down on it and cracked it. Man I was P!ssed off, It was nearly seasoned to perfection, just the right amount of carbon build and had only used the same tobacco. I never got another one but took what felt like a year to get over the habit / feel of having it in hand while driving. Dug out a tackle storage box one day to pull out some big Muskie / Pike crankbaits and found a old corn cob pipe from many years ago. Not as classy but she smoked quite well until I broke it cause I'd stuck it in my back pocket. Older now and a good pipe sounds good. But I can't smoke in the house and don't heat the garage.
    Will have to figure something out, because it sure sounds nice

    My past father in law smoked a pipe when I first knew him. I remember Christmas used to include a new pipe and tobacco, now knowing those new pipes didn't get used because it's like a woman buying a man clothing...doesn't get used unless he buys it himself. He won't use what he doesn't like. This guy in the pic was probably used to smoking "Issues" and was overjoyed to capture a pipe. Probably still smoking pulled down issue cigarette tobacco though...

    When my father passed away, I got his pipes, maybe a dozen. I smoked Cherry Blend in them, but after awhile it was too much trouble. Pipe tobacco smelled better than it tasted. When I came home from VN I was smoking 4 packs of PallMalls a day. One day I just tossed them out the window. In the war they were a dime a pack. When you were hungry or angry a smoke was good. I was hungry and angry a lot.
