    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.

    It is the proof stamp that the rifle passed when it was rebarreled to 7.62 or commonly called at the time the crack test stamp. At Lithgowicon.

    I've seen both CAS and CAL stamps; I'm certain that the CAL one is Lithgow, and have read somewhere that Sportco in South Australiaicon did the crack testing as well, which might explain the different mark.
