    Enfield produced Pattern 1913 are 100 years old this year.

    While not a Lee Enfield these are of interest with less that 1500 having been produced. While most had the normal size butt, the bottom one has the scarcer "L" long butt. Cartridges and stripper clips are hard to locate as well.

    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.

    I have a charger and single cartridge.

    The old saw about preparing training, arms and equipment to fight the previous war is so true.

    If they were operating in the african plains, north american prairies or russian steppes it would have been an awesome sniping cartridge.

    Thank god they didn't adopt it for general service, or the Britishicon Isles and most of europe would probably be speaking Germanicon and Turkishicon today...
