Something I purchased

**CINDERS** · 05-31-2014 02:52 AM

Couple of books I brought the other day that should yield a tad of info to supplement the other resource books I have on the Mk III's and SLRs and other relevant info.

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.

I saw them on the Lithgow icon

Museum website and was thinking of ordering a set, are they any good?

**CINDERS** · 05-31-2014 09:04 AM

I reckon any info you can get in relation to the Lithgow icon

factory is well worth the pennies spent goes well into the machine issue of the day and how they set up the plant, held floats for parades, demonstrations of the wares they make a dam good read just skimmed them and there is plenty in there I reckon a 4.5/5.o one of the best sets to own I would say.

Going to take one up to Broome soon and kick back with a JD/Cola and get through Vol 1

What a pity no one did the same for RSAF Enfield - or any number of others!

I wonder if the author (or his heirs) could be persuaded to offer those as e-books for a paid download?

David Pam did The Royal Small Arms Factory and Its Workers. Second-hand ones still available on Amazon.

I've only read volume one. Very interesting and a good read. Need to read it again probably.

You will also find "The Enfield Inch" by the same author, well worth the money.

As a first time poster I would also recommend that the following 300 page history be read as a companion volume to the history of SAF Lithgow:

Australian Military Small Arms Ammunition Production 1888 - 2003 - Australia - 2004

It is only available as an electronic book, however, it is a free download
