    Made three springs until I figured that ONE single spring wouldn't be as strong as I would like. SO made two 0.032" wire dia. 4 coil springs that work in parallel on the mag cover pin.

    No mods to the rifle! Dry runs OK! Must have had the rifle torn down twenty time today, though.

    I think the takedown pins would be easily lost in the field as sometimes they will just fly out whilst pulling on them with a cartridge rim.

    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.
