    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.

    Scott,

    This guy is well known for his restorations with fake parts. He keeps on cranking them out. I hope no one brings it to this forum for opinions. They most likely will get their feelings hurt.

    It looks like a mix of real, wrong era, and faked parts to me. By the way, there were / are dated Rock-Ola barrels. I think they switched to undated barrels in 6-43 or something like that. The early dated Rock-Ola barrels also showed up on some IP carbines as well as the early Rock-Ola carbines.

    I have a dated Rockola barrel on an early Inalnd. It is marked 3-43 3/4" down the barrel from the top of the Rockola stamping.

    Here is a pic and I added grease pencil to make it visible.
