    Ian is in the process of releasing a new run of The Broad Arrow too (a Mk II edition no less!). So now’s the time to jump on it!

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Unless they are Jack Reacher novels. Up until 2AM the last two nites . Can't put the book down. But it does beat commercials, infomercials and carona coverage. My lockdown strategy , cut the cable and focus on the library.

    I dropped cable about 1.5 years ago because mine cost about $200 CDN monthly and was climbing. I now have this massive library to go through...

    Dropped ours this year, should have done it LONG ago. Hooked up a PC to the TV and now watch what we want on YT, when we want, at the speed we want, with few and short commercials.

    Try it, you won't go back.

    The Broad Arrow Mk 2 will hit the shores from printing for sale in May I believe and is an expansion and improvement on the original according to Ian. Get your orders in quick as I beleive the orders for both the soft and hard copies are flooding in.

    I look forward to a new edition of "The Broad Arrow".

    Skennertonicon's books are worth it. My only complaint is his "Lee-Enfield" needs an editor to help him with organization. It's a great book, if there is something worth knowing about Lee-Enfields it is in there, but it needs some better organization.
