    Well Brian, I've certainly learned a LOT from listening to you, Lance, Lee Enfield and many others, plus reading everything Peter and Ian have written, but on my best day, I'm not sure I'll ever get to the levels of subtle detail and depth of knowledge you guys possess.

    Anyway, thanks for passing on what you can to the young collectors, because it does help them not get sandbagged and disappointed with fakes, plus if we don't encourage, educate and get the new guys excited with the enjoyment of owning these old pieces of history, our hobby will gradually fade away. Then we'll have nobody to talk to except our wives ...

    Regards,
    Doug

    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 ...

    I'm learning the hard lessons far too often myself; and there's no way I can be construed as an ex-spurt, 'cause I'm far too close to home....
