    Question Help in acquiring a Lee Enfield for my son?

    Greetings fellow gun enthusiasts. My son is a member of the PPCLI and is now laying in bed with cancer and is wanting a Lee Enfield sniper rifle. It is part of his bucket list and I was doing some searching for him on the net and discovered this site. I saw some incredible photos and info about the Lee Enfield and the converted models, like the 7.62mm L42A1 Sniper, and was wondering how to go about getting him one. We live on Vancouver Island and if anyone know someone who can assist I would really appreciate the help.

    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.

    If you don't mind importing it and want an Enfield sniper, why don't you try BDLicon who appears on this site. He's the man for everything Enfield
