The Lee-Enfield Rifle, Reynolds

[Smellysniper]

Hi, I got my copy from Abebooks some months ago and paid about £30 Sterling for it. They have 4 for sale at present but to my horror they are now priced between £56 and £70 plus postage from Canada or USA. Have a look. A good read but I personally am too tight to pay £60 quid. £30 was pushing it! Best Regards

Hi, Not sure if my reply got through, so I will try again. There are 4 "The Lee Enfield Rifle" books by Reynolds for sale at present on a book selling site called Abebooks at £60 to £70 plus postage. I have used them several times and they are very good. The price has doubled since I got mine only 6 months back. It`s an excellent read for someone who shoots in competition or for someone who want to improve his shooting skills. Obviously a bit dated but good info.

Interesting point about the Reynolds book is that the author did much of his research right at RSAF Enfield PRIOR TO The Great Shredding Of Documents Unwanted. Much of the material he used simply no longer exists. ..... .

In some respects, Reynolds had the inside track as he was attached to the administrative side at Enfield. Ian once mentioned that Reynolds at or nearing his retirement was given an amount of money from Enfield to write the book.
