    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.

    new....to me

    Not entirely a December purchase, but close enough.

    A '44 BSA T with matching HBM Mk II scope. Windage adjustment was not fully functional so after a Peter Laidlericon repair she should be good for the next 60 years. For the experts...notice anything funny about the Mk II scope close up??

    Part 2

    My favorite thing about Enfields is there ability to take on a new life after their original design is updated.

    Below is two new No. 4 Mk 1/2 and 1/3, both converted from 1944 rifles, Maltby and LongBranch

    1917 Remington M91 MN which was a Fin capture. What does the "D" stamp on the receiver signify?




    1943 BSA No.1Mk.III*


    More pics to follow:-)

    The four other rifles are all wood bubba'd which I plan on resurrecting.

    The D stamp indicates the rifle is chambered for Finnishicon "D" Ball. Which means it should shoot all 7.62x54R just fine, even the Russianicon stuff and the Finn machine gun ammo.

    Santa was good, but I hate it when I find something else I want even more.

    Anyways here are my "newest" toys that I think I will put up for an ungodly amount of money to see if anyone wants them really badly in a week or two. If they sell, great, if not no biggie as they are.........perfect........., besides having to be opened and import marked, but those are the rules.

    Below if Four (4) unissued, consecutive serial numbered UF 1955 No. 4 Mk 2 rifles still in the wrap. Of interest is that the ink date stamp on the butt's have two March 1955 and two April 1955. So one can say two were wrapped for store March 31'st and then the other two were the first to be packed on April fools day.
