Random's thread reminded me that I have been trying for years to get somebody to write a detailed history of the M1A icon

for the GCA icon

Journal. We all have them as substitutes for an M14, and they are basically a Garand development. Anybody have an idea who the real experts on it are?

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.

A little, thanks. I need somebody who is a real expert on them and knows the details of all the different makers of M14 icon

clones. Need pictures, too.
