    More Enfields at war in 2012, just now retiring

    Todays story on AOL about rebels in Indias north east surrendering their arms for the first time in 30 years, and in this pic I counted 7 enfield before I lost count. Good to see, on all counts,

    Arms are displayed during a surrender ceremony in Guahati, India, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. Hundreds of rebels in jungle fatigues lined up to surrender their weapons after nine insurgent groups reached cease-fire deals on Tuesday to begin peace talks toward ending a three-decade insurgency in northeast India.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Are they just getting rid of their old obsolete stuff. Not many AK's, RPD's or RPK's that I can see. But I'll have the butt-less Sterling if you don't mind. And a nice early double dovetail Bren for someone

    Unfortunately none of these arms will probably ever see their way to the civilian market.

    I imagine they're pretty trashed by now. India is not known for it's cool dry climate and gentle treatment of tools of war.

    Bonny is a member of the gunboards forum, from India and has a thread called Ishy action Indian style.
    This is now in two parts, it became to unmanagable as one and is a sequence of photo's of Lee Enfields in service in India and surrounding regions.
    I would have thought you would know me well enough by now, Roger, most of it's all tongue in cheek.
