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.

..."Manufactured during the Second World War"

I don't like the look of that stock cartouche...

**da gimp** · 08-14-2009 11:47 PM

guys chime in. Where is the DCM or CMP icon

letter? None even mentioned in his ad. Rather let some1 with more expertise than me in M1C's pronounce this 1 real or not.Hairs on the back of my neck raising,on the description of the mount, and the cartouche. no where does it say it is a G&H mount, just correctly machined, is this a case of legal doublespeak, with no recourse to buyer?
