    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.

    Are those the quilted coats that supposedly stopped 30 Carbine rounds?

    The M1 Carbine Penetration Failures In Korea : True or More To The Story | LooseRounds.com

    It’s certainly false that the bullet couldn’t penetrate frozen winter coats. Filming with US police departments I was party to a test of the WW2 era M1 carbine against bulletproof vests.

    At 100 yards, we found .30 Carbine full metal jacket ammunition would penetrate police bullet proof vests rated up to Level 3A (the highest level of protection without armour plates) with no trouble. Those vests would stop .44 magnum rounds at the same distance. There’s no way a frozen coat offers more protection than that.

    Certainly don't have to convince me. I'm a big fan of 30 Carbine!

    Poorly aimed shots by scared guys on rapid fire...yet they'd swear every one was a perfect hit. No, they won't stop anything.

    Bullets pass through all sorts of things on a battlefield. Perhaps the story started from a carbine bullet that first passed through a tree or a spent stray bullet fired from a mile away was found embedded in a quilted uniform.
