    Because everyone like to click on photos ...
    Was cleaning up the garage and reloading bench and this has been gathering dust for some time.

    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 ...

    I have been looking for an A or B Brit BREN Box Battalion Spares for 15 years now, I keep missing them at auction, photos of a complete one would be great to see, thats something thats sadly missing when your researching these items. If anyone has a good lead on a Brit Box please PM me, Thanks.

    Would love to see detailed photos posted

    I would love to see detailed photos of Boxes A & B showing which items go where and in which compartment, I have the list but detailed photos would be greatly appreciated and a useful exercise for all here to see. Outside of a museum I don't think such information exists in detail.
    Thanks.

    Damned.....I keep forgetting and I was into the area of "the shed" (tm) where the boxes reside yesterday.
    I will try and make an effort to dig it out and photograph it in the next few days.
    One interesting thing I seem to recall, is there are spaces in the chests for items that are NOT listed on the contents list.
    Some areas are vacant and it is most interesting.

    Photos will be great to see...can't wait....

    Can't wait to see the photos, they'd take the mystery out of it for me, empty spaces maybe discontinued items / obselete etc. or maybe removed due to legal reasons, firing pins, bolt carrier etc. if not legal to own where you are.

    Finally stopped hurting enough that I could get some pictures.
    Took a fall on Sunday and am black and blue from arsehole to armpit.
    Anyhow, I will pop a few pictures of the completed set of A & B
    Might miss some as not sure what is going on with transferring the files.
    I had to lift the trays out one at a time as I could not manage the whole box.

    There are a few photo's missing or misplaced and I will try and add them in later.

    Thanks Very much Warren

    Many thanks to Warren for these photos, they are really great to see, can't wait to see your A&B completed set photos, this is worth the effort, its a great resource. The rectangle shaped tins are very interesting, the three similiar ones look like the tins from the spares wallet but the other two I have never seen before anywhere. Never seen those two more square shaped tins anywhere for sale either.
    Close ups of the tins would be nice, cheeky I know, hope your back to fighting fit shape soon.
