    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.

    Holy Smokes, that's a service grade??????
    How come every time I go to the store, if the have service grades, the wood looks like it was used for boat oars in a tar lake.

    Nice and congrats

    Yow!

    THAT is a nice one - whew with the exception of what looks to be a little browning on the front handguard front ferrel, I'd say that thing looks to be almost new!

    Congrats and a half - very nice rifle. Hopefully she shoots half as good as she looks.

    First, welcome to the forum.
    That's a beautiful rifle you received. Congrats. You may have received one of the Greek AF rifles that everyone has been talking about. From all reports they are very nice. Let us know how she shoots!!
