    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 ...

    I don't recall any of the Royal Family spouting anti gun BS like so many other people in high places do. For that I respect the willingness of the Queen and her family picking up a gun and enjoying using it, even if is only for a photo op!
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Enfield,

    Most of the"lads" in the Royal Family have been very keen game shots. Inc. Prince Charles.

    Years ago back in Englandicon I used to get "Shooting Times" magazine, and on the cover was always the same quote from The Duke of Edinburgh;

    "The wildlife of today is not ours to dispose of as we please, we have it in trust, We must account for it to those who come later".

    So yes, keen game shot, And conservationist.. something inexplicable to an "anti".

    Somewhere there's a photo of Prince Charles shooting a P14 with an Enfield hammer forged barrel, probably at Bisley.

    "Aiming for Harrods" could be the caption?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Knowing their deep rooted detestation for Mohammed Al-Fayed (the owner of Harrods who's son was Doddi) you could caption it '...gunning for Harrods'!

    Incidentally, thread 61, we still have that rifle at Warminster. I understand that it's since been zeroed!

    Prince Charles fired at Bisley one year in the early 1980s (or late 1970s). I seem to recall he was on a house of lords team. I will see if I can drag up the details

    back in the 1980s he was the NRA president or honorary something important to the association. All that seems to have changed after the 87.
