    "Suggestions to Military Riflemen" by T. Whelen

    When Townsend Whelen was a junior officer he was not impressed with US Army marksmanship training. So in 1909 he wrote his own training manual.

    The book is reproduced on Google Books and can be read online, downloaded in .pdf or to an e-book.

    Looks real interesting. Covers the M1903, ammunition, maintenance, shooting technique, sight adjustment, coaching....etc.

    Badger - might be worth adding to the permanent M1903 library.

    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.
