    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.

    Yes, but surely he's dreaming if he expects to get $600!

    I didn't notice that. I think you're right, money is not moving right now. My fultons target rifle just went for a song, about half of its value last year.

    Nice story, but that's probably all it is. The rifles have been proofed so they had bolts once. Barreled actions without bolts imported to Canadaicon for the "national team"? Why bother, there were loads of brand new Long Branch actions available. AFAIK rifles were not provided for the Bisley teams (if that is what "national" refers to), you brought your own; the one(s) you used to qualify for the team!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
