    RE Rifle of the Millions

    What an interesting article.

    I was especially intrigued by Garand's insight into the importance for cooling by having hand guards that are slightly loose. Ha, I've seen several threads where guys were trying to tighten up their wobbly hand guards, thinking it was years of use. And some of it may be - but this shed a bit of light on it. My own handguards on my Garands are a bit 'loose' feeling, but I think John would approve!

    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.
