    Question Army MSG (ret) Finally gets an enfield

    Bailed my brother out of jail. I get an 303 Enfield for the bail bond $426. I paid to much! What do I have? I love everything about the south but the damn gnats.

    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.

    You have a brother that should be thankful you are a good brother. Post some pictures and there are many helpful Enfield experts here that can tell you volumes.

    I don't think he's a troll, but perhaps a little naive as to how widely varied Enfields can be in make, model etc.

    He hasn't been back since his original first post, which was actually in the New member introductions thread ...... thread. It was moved here (copied made) because of the Enfield reference which seemed relevant to this specific forum. Perhaps he won't see it here, even if he logs in again.

    Anyway, we have been getting a lot of these lately across multiple forums. I'd recommend the best way to handle them is to just post the link I showed in my earlier post in this thread, which explains to people what we need to be able to answer their questions and even shows them how to upload pics.

    Regards,
    Doug

    I feel cheated its Sunny here... but still raining. Its a good thing the Military ranges in Colchester have well drained soil, as we will be out there tommorrow with our Enfields on the ETR range
