    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 ...

    The film footage with the scoped Ross is fake as tits on a bull. The character holding the rifle clearly doesn't have a clue, and proceeds to fumble the loading while he fakes the kick of the rifle. Notice how the eyecup pushes on the visor of his cap so it almost falls off his head! He would have got a nice case of sniper's eye if he had actually fired a round from that position.

    A little earlier in the film during the "Reconnaissance Party" clip, we see our pretend sniper sauntering up third in line with neither rifle nor webbing and a grin on his face. Obviously no patrol would move in that way anywhere that might be in view of the enemy, and certainly not in broad daylight. It looks like the Ross was carried up by the fourth from last man, but perhaps it was thought best not to film the actual user of that rifle.

    Nice clean uniform and polished boots; I wouldn't want to shoot a Lee-Enfield Rifle No.2 Mk.IV* from that perch, let alone a Ross MkIII sniper.
