    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 ...

    What edition of The Bren Gun Saga do you wish to dispose of? I'm not too sure that many/any others in the known universe would consider the first edition to be the bible on the subject.

    The second edition of the Bren Gun Saga is the one you want. The first edition was done rather quickly due to some rather serious medical problems of the author however he did survive and did clean it up considerably for the second edition. He then passed away as the book was being printed.
    There will never be a book that is complete on the Bren as so many of the records were destroyed especially in Canadaicon and a great many misfiled in our archives. I have almost 5000 microfilm plates that I have yet to edit but to get the time and book a reader is the problem.
    Enjoy your Bren...they are one of the few classic MG's and never to be repeated. Mind you, the ZB 26 sets the heart a flutter also.
