    [QUOTEI was able to buy the book many years ago, when I first bought a sportered Ross Mk 3. They were still cheap back then![/QUOTE]


    I know how that works! Way back when, I bought plenty of things when they were simple used goods, from unissued Ljungman AG42's ($85, with tool kit and spares) to Ducati motorcycles. If I knew then what I know now, etc., etc....

    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.

    There's a local (Calgary) bookseller who is always at the shows here and has had copies of the RRS on his table. Don't know what he's asking, though. Next show is in January. I can take a look and get his contact info to pass along.

    The Ross Rifle story: Roger F Phillips: 9780969190608: Amazon.com: Books


    $299.

    The person who bought the proofs of the original and reprinted the second run might consider doing an e-book version, but any scanned copies would be a violation of his copyright and investment.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Hey vykkagur. Just back from the show. The dealer I was thinking of is currently out of stock, but there was a used copy on another table. I picked it up on spec. I'll send you a private message with the details.

    the Ross Rifle Story

    I have the book--Exc condition----can't find any links to any sales so what's it worth ??? I doubt it is as much as my copy of BROOMHANDLE PISTOL 1896-1936 ERICKSON, WAYNE R.; PATE, CHARLES E. as listed on Amazon--but I dont see any of those selling.
