    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.

    You have emailed me with this same statement in the past more than once only to never answer me. Are you going to let some of the info go this time? Rick Bicon

    Okay, I'll show my ignorance. Who was Art Tuttle and what kind of information are we talking about?

    Art Tuttle was John Garands trouble shooter and problem solver. He worked directly with Garand to work out the problems with the design and operation of the original M1icon rifle, beginning with the gas trap design up into the gas port rifles. He is quoted extensively in Billy Pyle's book "The Gas Trap Garand". Art probably knew more about the original Garands than anyone except John Garand himself.

    Well, this post caused me to finally buy and read Billy Pyles book about "The Gas Trap" Garandicon.
    Great read!! Filled with facts.

    However I wonder if Art's grandson who may monitor this forum, could answer a question, if it is in the notes.

    That question is the mystery of the barrel stampings. 1-SA, 2-SA or 3-SA followed by the barrel date. It was my impression that it referred to the shift that the barrel was produced on, but that is not considered accurate. Possibly there is a answer hidden in Tuttles notes?

    Art Tuttle, Garands Troubleshooter, from Pyles book, would easily have known that fact, and just about everything else we want to know about.

    I don't understand why he does this. He post who he is then disappears. He has emailed twice just like this only to not answer anymore. I am starting to believe he is not who he says he is or something else is wrong??????????????? I am going to ask Billy Pyle about him to see if he is normal or real. Rick Bicon
