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.

Reenactor...I'd think. We have one around here like that.

Would a regular M1936 pistol belt be able to be adjusted enough to fit this guy? Or would he had to have had one special made? I have several pistol belts and I don't think I could adjust it anywhere near the size to fit that guy.

Reminds me of the fat Captain actor accompanying Ernest Borgnine in "The Dirty Dozen"...navigating for him poorly.

notice the rifles, appear to be M1903 or M1917 all with the long bayonet - doubt reenactors

Yes, when you look up the original photo they are M1917 rifles.

The eyes of the General Officer are firmly fixed on this guys immense girth. Reminds of another WW2 photograph.
