    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.

    Mike,

    Nice looking group.
    What does the other side look like. High/Low woods, crossed cannons, etc?
    Is the middle one with the type three band a Winchester?

    Jim

    We exchanged emails 2 weeks ago. He said summer was coming. He had seen the sun for the first time in a long time.

    With the date line Mike in NZ is 21 hours ahead of my time. I guess 23 for you Charlie.

    In my signature at work I use the Charles Schultz quote.

    Mike, if they do math in New Zealandicon like they do here in the States, that means you "forgot" to show us the other 10 carbines...

    As as punishment, you have to show individual close-ups of them - yes, each one of them. Start posting!

    Seriously, i would be very curious to see what they look like. You definitely have fewer humpers there plus you probably come across more in the "just from the war zone" condition that we see here.

    O.K guys, I am in between a rock and a hard place. If I show too much detail, I get in trouble for helping the humpers, If I don't show any detail I get in trouble anyway. Here's a pic some may not have seen. Will work on some new ones. Don't know why, maybe the recession, but it's been slow here for about 18 months, however, getting a lot of calls about Carbines, parts, over the last few weeks. Note, top mag different from bottom two ! Cheers. Mike.

    Mike,

    Now you are just teasing us. You have a bayonet on the top, flash hider in the middle, where's the recoil check on the third, and a fourth with an M-8?

    Looks like the top 30 round mag is a rolled full seam the other two are later welded half seam.
