    Enfield made SMG

    Got to shoot an Enfield made MK.5 Sterling SMG today on full auto just outside Las Vegas. With a few other gents all of whom wanted to fire an Uzi or AK 47. This was by far the most accurate at 50 yards and easiest to shoot.
    On cell phone so cannot upload pictures at present but will do later.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Fair point Peter. To me though seeing the familiar markings was enough to give me tenuous cause to post here😀

    Re-designed and configured from the Mk2 at the Drawing Office at Cheshunt very close to the Enfield RSAF though. Under the direction of the man himself, Harold Turpin. The 'T' in Sten

    Hey, you're so right Lee Enfield........ What a cock-up on my part! Oooooops. Sorry about that Newcastle. But I was nearly right! The Mk5/L34 Sterling was not an Enfield product either. That was a private venture by Patchett at Sterling for a War Office General Staff requirement. It came from Dagenham under the eagle eye of the OTHER man with great mechanical acumen. George Patchett!

    Attachment 71905Attachment 71906Sorry about the delay. here are a couple of pics. I also have a video of firing on FA. The AMAZING thing about this was that the suppressor worked fabulously well. Having never fired a gun with suppressor before I thought that the movies exaggerated their effectiveness, but on the video you can only hear the ding on the steel plates and the click of the cocking handle as it fired.
