    Long Mountain Outfitters / Chipotle Publishing / Small Arms Review magazine. A massive frigging disappointment. I'm waiting for those photos to show up in someone else's book because I'm clueless as to how they could possibly lose them.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Woah. I have not followed nor heard much about Small Arms Review, Long Mountain Outfitters OR Dan Shea in many years. Are any of those entities still present and viable?

    I am suspecting that Dan was untrusted with a large reference library of images ( and sadly appears like they were originals or one offs) and have now come up missing. That is a HUGE disconnect as all publishers should be treating that sort of material with respect and accountability.

    Sounds like that is another story all by itself. Sad to hear if that is what transpired??

    Any further updates gentlemen?
    I know these things take loads of work and time to come to fruition and that there are extenuating circumstances and covid.

    I am always interested in a copy but not at a price on the secondary market that doesn't benefit Peter Laidlericon anyway.

    The new Sterling book is available from Pen and Sword Books: Military History and Nostalgia Book Publishers. If you ask them, they can probably tell you who is stocking them here in the USAicon. The price on the jacket is 40 GBP or $60 USD.

    Thanks! I missed any splash it made when it came out.

    I have not been able to compare a chapter by chapter page count: Does it have the same amount of Lanchester content as the "Guns of Dagenham"?

    The content of the book been added to slightly, not reduced.

    There are a few new drawings, an added plate of photos, and a few added paragraphs.

    A general comment, not specifically to the Lanchester.

    I realise that I have a vested interest here, in the sales of the Mk2 version of The Guns of Dagenham. But I can already see it......... In a couple of years, when it's sold out and there is a demand, those that didn't get one will be hopping up and down like frogs on fire just wishing that they'd got one when it was on the shelves - and complaining about the high prices they are having to pay.

    It's worth it just for the factory drawings of the L2 and L34 on the front and rear inner covers

    THE HISTORY OF THE SMALL-ARMS MADE BY THE STERLING ARMAMENTS COMPANY. Excellence in adversiity published by Pen and Sword books.

    I've said it before, folks; buy books! Some of mine are doing better as investments than guns.
