    We didn't get ear protection in the Britishicon Army until 1971.........fact, small useless plastic plugs in a pastic container we tied tto ourt epaulettes on our smocks as they were always needed to hand, especially with the ring of the SLR, worse than a Sunday morning bells ringing at our local church.

    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 ...

    anti-tank cartridges 1939

    my photo shows the 7,92x57, Polish 7,92x107 and Germanicon 7,92x94.

    It was said that the Polish 7,92x107 would penetrate the early Panzer tanks
    I though III

    Later with captured Polish 7,92x107, the Germans removed the bullets and loaded
    them in the 7,92x94Attachment 116345

    Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel 1915.

    Likely it was only the one ever made, and it no longer exists.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    Didn't even think of doing that

    I recognised it from one of Forgotton Weapons video's that featured it, and that I'd taken to watching a lot of during lockdown without a job.....had never heard of it prior or seen a photo of it prior to that.

    What a mess those were while they were trying to design things at first. Even the Thompson started with a belt feed mechanism.
