    Lee-Speed sporter

    While looking for info in Skennertonicon,s " The Lee Enfield" regarding a Lee Metford and flicking through the pages i stopped on page 112 and 113, was racking my brains were i,d seen one similar, had a look on guntrader and there it was, have viewed it several times but never hit home that it was an original, just thought it was a converted milsurp to a sporter.
    Not my cup of tea but may be of interest to some of the collectors out 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.

    W/ a good bore, that doesn't seem wretchedly high. Of course, I'm on the wrong side of the medium big water to pursue.

    Have just started the ball rolling regarding an Import/Export licence, may lower a few barriers in the future.
