    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.

    If you look closely you can often see the machine marks on the bolt and they run along those lines. I'd expect the finish has just been scrubbed off.

    The underside of the front ring is pretty marred. Was it like that when you got it?

    BC here are those same stripes on my STD PRO. It is just a machining characteristic of some.

    It may just be hardened grease.

    Love that SP Bill

    Somehow I feel that if I didn't live in Calif I'd have an SP. Always admired what Standard Products did, the little cool tools they made and the way a gunsmith was running the show for the most part. Their high standards for barrels and willingness to fight for it.
