    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.

    Trigger Spring Tool...Make One

    I took a TH to local hardware store and bought a short piece of copper tube that fit into the rear hole on the TH. Cut off a short piece, and several for my friends, and you have tools to spare for a couple bucks. It doesn't need a bend to easily work as it should.

    Secondly, I put the spring in first, then the trigger. No twisting of the spring required. Use whichever method works best.

    Also make a trigger pin the same length as the trigger width. Use it to assemble the trigger , sear , and sear spring . Insert as a unit and use the real trigger pin to drive out the short one . Much easier than trying to assemble inside the housing.

    Been doing that for 25 years. I kept jamming my finger tips.
    Assemble with a short pin outside the housing, drop in place, push short pin out with the regular pin.
    Faster and easier on my fingers.

    I use an empty 30 carbine shell casing for a trigger spring tool.
