    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 ...

    Looks like US M3 sub machine gun to me. They should have markings on the front side middle...manufacturer markings. Look through some gunsites for sales and you'll see what asking price is.

    Agree, looks like M3 magazines - but some were not marked for the MAC weapons

    Difficult to load by hand, need a loader or M3A1 stock hook, Thompson was a better magazine to load
    and better feeding but now the TSMG is 100 years old ?

    M3 grease gun mags have a notch on the side in the reinforced part . Mac mags don't 'cause the latch is on the rear of the pistol grip and catches the rear bottom of the reinforced section .
