    The SA80 LSW simply wasn't man enough for the job. It was a little boy trying to do a mans job. However John, it was/is a VERY, very accurate rifle out to long ranges too So we have kept a small number in the infantry sections to use as a sharpshooters rifle. It's no match for the Minimi or the Bren/L4 (now obsolete) or the magnificent GPMG.

    We (the REME etc) still hade Bren/L4's in the first Gulf War. The last were withdrawn from the TA/reserves in 2007. I have an L54 DP Bren, refurbished to new condition, mounted on an English oak base, sitting on my desk. The Top-Man of the Support Weapons Wing has one too

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...
