    Then there was this one, which according to the letter that accompanied it when gifted to someone (who later sold it on to MilArm of Edmonton who sold it on eBay back in 2000) was one of a few made up for use at RSAF Enfield when zeroing newly converted No4(T)s. If that was the case, and there seems to be no reason to doubt the claim, then perhaps they were sent on to Holland & Holland when the job of conversion was transferred there?

    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. Brian Dick ...

    Not sure what the problem may be. I just tested uploading function, which hasn't changed in 7 years... and it seems to be fine for me.

    Anyway, if you want to email me the content to badger@milsurps.com, I'll post it for you.

    Regards,

    No idea Doug, they're JPGs small enough and never had a problem before. Were on a remote drive, but even moved to My Documents I get an exclamation mark and the red X next to each file as soon as I click "upload"
