    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 ...

    Is the water the description states they are dipped in a preservative? Any idea whether it is Eddystone, Remington or Winchester?

    Thanks for posting those! Wow! What a time capsule not just for technology but the way people worked & lived. (Or, if OSHA sees these clips, there will be suits filed retroactively!)

    Thanks for the links, Mr. Petrov. I've already "stolen" one link for a thread in the L-E forum. With due credit.

    I'm glad you saw this posting by Michael. I saw it on Joustericon earlier and thought of you. You like being in a machine shop, what did you think of the size of the polishing wheels they were using on the bolts?? And I thought my 10" one was big !! I liked looking at the machining operations they showed. That stuff facinates me also.

    Did you view the link on the Watering Hole forum a while back about how they make Zeiss scopes?


    Y'all have a good weekend,

    Emri
