    Red face US Rifle Model 17 at range




    December 25th, 2007. My father is an ex-Home Guardsman who always sang the praises of the "Enfield Pattern" as he always called it. I surprised him with this at our local gun club. he shot a 5-inch group at 100 yards, and he hadn't even seen an Enfield since 1945! I thought that was pretty impressive. Just wanted to share.

    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.

    Your compliments are most welcome! No, he hasn't forgotten how, which is fantastic. I've been thinking about a P14 as well. Any thoughts?
