    Sniper Course WW2

    Found a pic on facebook in the PPCLI forum and thought it should come over. I think it's been looked at and perhaps discussed but not sure. I know we've talked about this very thing though...note the different rifles.

    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 ...

    Clearly still busy with fieldcraft and similar training. No 1 and No 3 rifles only, no telescopes.

    A mix of SMLE Mk.III along with P14 (or P17) aren't they.....?
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    Looks like a camouflage and concealment course or dressed up as enemy to me.

    I think they're just covering that part of the classes...why things are seen. Would be boring for these guys if they had been brought out of action for this course. Looks to me like a break between classes here.

    Looks like a PH 5C or 5E or whichever one fits the big rifle... Would be an excellent shooter. And, would be a P 14...note the stock marking disc.

    Looks like he wanted to make sure he got his whole face in the shot rather than concentrate on any target.................are you sure this isn't a wartime Gilette advert for the cleanest shaved chin??
