    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.

    Goo- You're absolutely right about the Easy-Off, no matter what the experts say. Just make sure to buy the
    "Heavy Duty" version, not the "Fume Free" & be absolutely certain to rinse & scrub the wood w/plenty of clean water afterwards. I usually spray the wood down w/a heavy coating, let it work f/30 minutes or so, rub all the gunk off w/paper towels & then rinse the hell out of the stock w/warm water. For really grungy wood, a 2nd application may be required. Let the wood dry f/@ least 24 hours afterwards. Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves & have plenty of ventilation when doing this job, Easy-Off is VERY strong. Old clothes are a good idea, too, and lately I've even started wearing a throw-away filter mask. I've used this method on 9 or 10 stock sets over the last 10 years & have never encountered as problem with walnut, beech or mahogany & the wood usually comes out looking like new. HTH.
