    The thought ran through my head about copywrite as soon as I saw that pic.

    One should always aknowledge the fact that a pic. or article is "borrowed" in case you get bounced.

    Besides, I like it.

    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.

    My apologies if I offended anyone with my sarcastic humor, I had no idea there was/is a meaningful story attached.. However, in my own defense, not relating the story surrounding the paint job left it wide open for criticism. Not to mention it's posted in a thread where bashing bubba's cobble jobs seems to be the thing to do.

    Clearly to make it look like something it isn't, in meatier terms, on a very thin budget, with very little "practical use" operationally. I have to say it sounds like they have a new boss in charge of Firearms who is a young upstart trying to bring Star Wars to the streets of India.................sadly quite common, from Cars/trains to weapons and uniforms!

    Although, this is the first I heard about a story behind that particular rifle.

    He’s in the USAicon…… where it’s spelled that way.

    Color is also spelled without a u here and a f@g is not a cigarette.

    The brightly painted rifle was featured in a thread some years back, maybe 2010-12ish?, which told most of the story known on this forum. I just can't think of good search terms!
