    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.

    Very much in the same boat, going the Boyd's replacement way. Have not ordered as of yet, and I was wondering if the Boyd's stock is drilled for the crossbolt, and what would you use for the small brass pin thru the stock. Also, is it feasible to remove original crossbolt and reinstall or just get another. Thanks

    im not even sure where to start.....they give you plenty of meat to play with around the wrist area and butt plate. Reciever seems to be a real good fit.....looking for more metal hardware.

    Could not locate the brass pin that is above the trigger. I got lucky, found a very good condition Eddystone stock for a good price. Both the sporter stock and Eddystone stock I have, have brass pins, not steel.
