    M1 Garand Article

    I came upon this interesting article written it would appear in the late 40's. While much of what it contains is known I thought it interesting because of when it was prepared and the closeness of the preparer to its history.

    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.

    Thumbs up Thanks a lot

    What a great article. I am a great admirer of Garandicon and his rifle. This article makes me appreciate him even more. That is an interesting story of the man and his rifle.

    The article was written by Lucian Cary sometime between 1945-1949. I never heard of him but apparently he was a gun expert extraudinaire and published gun articles for/in TRUE, The Man's Magazine during this period. These articles were republished in a single book which I recently came across. Anyone ever heard of him?
