    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.

    Back in the 1970s I put a Wanted ad in Shotrgun news for that cylinder, got two replies: one for $35 and one for $50. I took the cheaper one and rejected the expensive one. Who would need two of them anyway? Oy

    Is "Shotgun News" even in publication anymore or did every thing go digital? Used to have a subscription, but then Army moved me too much.

    GOODBYE SHOTGUN NEWS, HELLO FIREARMS NEWS
    12/17/2015 11:25 AM | by Chris Eger

    Goodbye Shotgun News, hello Firearms News
    After 69-years, the Shotgun News now has a new name and a new face.

    A standard of news racks since 1946 and a staple herald of the gun community, the Shotgun News, is no more, and will re-brand itself as the more correct Firearms News moving forward.

    The 30-issue per year newsprint magazine, which is filled with a mix of adverts for everything from defense pencils to Uzi parts kits as well as reviews and editorials is re-branding itself with a new name.

    “As you know, Shotgun News is much more than simply news about shotguns,” Editor David Hunter Jones wrote Thursday. “The title of the magazine has long been somewhat of a misnomer, and for 2016 we decided to put an end to questions about what the magazine and digital edition are all about: all kinds of firearms, not just shotguns. Hence the name change.”

    With the name change comes a number of promised improvements to the publication and its associated website. These include more glossy book-sized covers, a new column by David Fortier, and a heavier stock paper. This may suit many collectors and regular subscribers who tend to keep old issues for decades as something of a time capsule of gun prices and availability.

    “Rather than bleed out small changes one at a time, we decided it was most prudent to rip off the proverbial Band-Aid and unveil the completely new product, Firearms News and FirearmsNews.com,” said Hunter Jones.

    While the online changes are immediate, the last Shotgun News-branded magazines will be on shelves this month.

    drawing number looks different ?

    Both the early and late gas trap cylinders had very uniform drawing numbers - all be the same size and shape.

    Unless this is something special ? these early gas cylinders have been faked for about thirty years nowAttachment 119789

    I have been checking my original early fluted gas cylinder with the photos shown at the top of this post.

    1) the band on the bayonet stud never goes around the body on type 1 cylinders
    2) the flutes were not machined like the Type 1 cylinder which are round in the bottom of the flute
    3) the numbers and letter D are not equal in size
    I believe this was an un-number type 2 cylinder that was worked over to look like a type 1 and while still
    a possible original, the extra machine work and stamping would greatly reduce the valve. Even the seller
    might be fooled too

    So, with this in mind, I think it's important to preserve the pics here as a later reference for us and others. The sales ad will disappear soon enough...
