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.

Thank you for the comments, the top walnut stock is a early Winchester with the solid buttplate, the second stock is birch which was a gift from a 1st Sgt and the M14 icon

stock was another gift from a friend

Bruce Canfield's notes suggest that they ran short of new M1 icon

blanks and raided their commercial stock so as not to interrupt production. You do find some fancy figure on a few early Winnies. I always wondered why the inspectors didn't reject them, the specs are clear about straight-grained walnut. They were Ordnance employees, not Winchester people.
