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.

To my knowledge, no one has ever found out for sure who MKB is. The only guess I could find that has been put forth is MKB machine shop in Connecticut from the '80s.

Sounds reasonable. I do know that SA gave out small local contracts sometimes when a part was badly needed and time was short. IIRC, this did happen with sight knobs once late in M1 icon

production. Another example is the welded seam op rod used in the very first rifle assemblies... the welding was contracted out to a small welding shop in West Springfield.
