    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 ...

    You could just buy it and say as you walk through the front door " I'm home, you not going to believe what followed me home tonight." go from there but I do suggest you have a plan B strategy in place........

    I bought myself a NZicon L2A1 LMG for Christmas, I would add with the full support of Mrs Clark (bless her), however, I feel I would be sticking my head way above the trench line with the Vickers, just begging to be shot at!!


    Edit, Mrs Clark has "reminded me", it was in fact a Christmas present from her!

    In the highly unlikely scenario that one of our generous members has bought me the Vickers, I am happy to make it forum property, bags I have it first, then it can go to our 30,000 members in turn on a 1 month rotation..

    I remember, as a young lad, I wanted an airgun which my mother forbade. Always being one to think "outside the box" my solution to this minor set-back was to get my Gran to purchase it for me. You wouldn't believe how angry my mother was when she found out because my brother grassed me up.

    Cheers Vincent, much appreciated, I will pack a suitcase full of .303 and book a flight!

    Joking aside, I appreciate the offer and would love to see your great collection one day mate.

    Cheers John

    I had one in my front room when I lived in Cumbria, I will see if I've still got the picture...... a girlfriend at the time thought it was a bit strange, my reply was I found it strange no one else in the village had one......
