    I passed up a gun show because of this rifle. I have not attended one in probably three months and one was coming up this past weekend. My wife and I had planned a day trip and coincidentally, the gun show was in the same town. It was a coincidence, REALLY. The coupon on my desk was also a coincidence. Anyway. I found this at the yard sale the day before we were going to the gun...I mean town day trip and as I pretty much cleaned out both my wallet and my wife's purse to buy this, I told her I didn't need to go to the gun show the next day.
    We had a nice time on our day trip.

    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.

    I got mine at a yard sale to. I only paid $75.00. I can not imagine not being able to go out and find such things here in the US.

    Wow, great gun and great price.
    The best deal for me is a 1950 Long Branch with transit case, never issued for $400.00. Offered the owner more, he refused saying he wanted it to go to a good home.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    I have been on the recieving end of a couple of those as well. Some see the value in passing a piece of history on to some who they are confident will be a good steward of the item.
