The guy considers the Ainley (spelling?) rifle to be his intellectual property I guess. You have to get your own pics of it.
I would be wary of his claims He came up with:' The P14/M1917 were less capable of rapid fire than the Lee Enfield BECAUSE: The Lee Enfield had a detachable magazine.' He also refers to .303 British as .303CF.
I don't know if the last criticism is valid or not. . .
Then he says 'oh that's clunky' - a military weapon designed to shoot holes in 1930's tanks and armoured cars, with more power than a 7mm Remington Magnum, muzzle velocity of 3,700 FPS. . .
It is almost as though Sunray contributed to the article. ;p

He says the picture that was created for the website is copyrighted by the organization that owns the web site. Nothing unusual about that. They did the work to make the picture so they own it.
He also says the difference in magazine capacity (5/6 vs 10) is the difference in rapid fire capability, not because the LE has a detachable magazine.
.303 British is a term used on the North American side of the pond to distinguish it from .303 Savage which was a very popular hunting round in the first half of the 20th century. It is not interchangeable with .303 British. .303CF is used on the other side marking it as a center fire round. Similar terminology was used for some US round i.e. 30WCF.

I have had a little Wonder Woman in my kit over the years. Don't ask why, but she's my good luck charm.

Google 303CF and see how frequently it's used in various articles. I didn't say it makes sense, I said it is used.
