    Lester, afraid your slightly wrong there, in 1907 the British were actually more worried about fighting the Frenchicon than the Germans, the 1907 was designed to add the length to the rifle to match the Long French blades as the 1903 then in service was very short in comparison. All of the war plans back then were aimed at preventign the French crossign the channel the Germasn were a long way away and the Kaiser was a relative to the Queen of Englandicon

    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.
