    Evolution of the #VickersMG spare parts box, case and wallet contents 1914-1960

    In this long video we track the development of the spares and tools carried with the Vickers machine gun (in Britishicon, Empire and Dominion service) from 1914 to 1960. Each iteration goes through what was added, removed, moved or nomenclature changed with a brief description as to why this had happened. It also includes some detail on the developments of parts and tools themselves.

    As you will see, this is a extremely detailed and in-depth video that helps us share some of the knowledge we have in the Association. Please do support us through www.patreon.com/vickersmg or www.buymeacoff.ee/vickersmg and ensure that we can continue to dedicate our time and effort to this kind of activity. We will share screenshots of each of the iterations, along with the manual pages and our research notes as part of the Patreon posts and on our website at Spare parts and tools

    If you want to jump to any particular year, then visit YouTube and the direct links are in the description there.

    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).
