    It's just a poor quality picture. The slots are there with extreme magnification.

    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 ...

    M14/M1A

    One of the reasons for its success is the 1930s White gas expansion system finally perfected by SA engineer Earl Harvey. Lighter recoil and less wear on the parts. His own entry for adoption is second from the top on the left (his right). By all reports, it was an excellent gun.
    Garandicon was aware of the White system but in the early days it was less reliable than the direct gas impingement method he used.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Oddly enough White's rifle looks like an M14icon-A2 with a little StG44 mixed in.

    I hunted black tail deer in Kodiak in 88. Used a 5 round magazine. Not as heavy.
