    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.

    Unique Rock-Ola

    Almost certanly the same day. Why no drain hole? These were part of the 2nd concract . Also look at the photo of the trigger housing mount. It looks like a double leg. Why the grinding on the receiver lug??? These are very collectable, even more so if in the restored condition. When did RO begin using the adjustable sights?

    The rear hole on 4532768 was probably added during rebuild.

    In warbaby much time is spent on Rock-ola and thier problems.
    In one section if I remember correctly, new management found piles of
    parts and receivers that had been rejected. There was nothing wrong with them. Just wondering if that could be the difference in tooling.
