    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.

    Hxp is of Greek origins and is good stuff. Last I found cost me .50/round about a year and a half ago.
    Non corrosive boxer primed reloadable cases.
    Bullet weight is 174 grains and flat based but it's not a Mk 7. It has no nose filler, just a plain lead core and is a bit shorter( about 1/8'' IIRC) than a Mk.7 bullet.
    Have yet to chronograph any so MV is unknown.
    Accuracy is excellent from my low mileage '44 BSA No.4 T but only so so with my well worn ex-Indian T.
    Killed 3 deer with it last season and judging by the size of the exit wounds terminal ballistics are very close to that of the Mk.7.

    It's P367xx. Closest one I've seen to date was 3 or 4 digits off. Probably should've bought it just for that reason.
    Mine should have some flavor of Mk.III scope but it appears to be one that was overhauled and put into storage as it has replacement wood but lacks a scope s/n on the wrist. All other markings are present and as I said appears to have seen little use.
    I robbed the Mk.II off the old ex-Indian T so I could shoot a couple deer with it last season then cleaned it up and put it away till I happen across the correct scope. Then I'll take it up to Brian at BDLicon LTD to be matched up.
