    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 ...

    Yes I know this is the early version - I will have to contact S.A. to see if they will update the training info

    These look like ARVN troops ?

    Bill, Both the M1 and M1A1icon TSMG had a higher cyclic rate of fire more than that of the M1928A1. Even a
    waiver was issued by the War Dept in Dec 1942 concerning the M1 Thompson's cyclic rate which often
    exceeded 800 rpm being closer to 900 rpm

    Hmm, bit rusty. I guess I can take a couple off your hands, though. Save you any disposal fees.

    Other pic in this series also posted, we figured these were ARVN troops on exercise. Looks about right... As for the brine soaked T-Guns, let me go through them for a bit and I'll find something to resurrect. Just some glass beading and woodwork, maybe a new barrel. I've seen some pretty washed out barrels shoot OK for a sub gun. Maybe new springs...
    Regards, Jim
