Been there, done that! 11b From 73 - 79. Earlier years used the Spaghetti straps. Used them in the 90s to secure a bail out bag as a pilot. This was standard issue at Bragg in the 70s and made many jumps with this ****. Even though we were issued this in Alaska, we used the jungle ruck.

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.

The poncho came. I'm not sure I remember how to roll it up. I rolled it up last night and it's about 16 inches wide and about 4 inches around. Seems to me it should be about 10-12 inches wide and 6 inches around. Been over 20 years since I rolled on up. I still have to find my shovel and bayonet.

That's the one...longer than that since I saw mine. I can still remember the smell though. I sure spent a lot of time under one, damp the whole time.
