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.

Straight out of Peter Laidlers and Ian Skeenertons book

An Armourers prospective : .303 No 4 (T) sniper rifle and the Holland and Holland Connection

Cheek mount screw were as follows: Wood screws.

1 1/4" x No 8 front
1 1/2' x No 8 rear

Steel or brass screws were both acceptable.

Unplated (no zinc) steel are, by far, more common, it seems...

Yes, both steel & brass screws were approved, but I've only ever seen steel in practice. Seems to be brass on Australian icon

Lithgow SMLE snipers though.
