    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You will find a lot of help with the 577/450 in the Martini and Reloading forums at this website.

    British Militaria Forums - Message Board - Yuku

    The guys there have tried out just about everything, and know where to get what you need. But before you plunge in, are you prepared for a budgetary shock when you find out what the cases cost? You will need not only reloading dies, but a neck-sizing die to make those cases last, and you will have to cast your own bullets. All very, very pricy.

    Look up the site mentioned above, and ask for help. I'm sure you will get plenty.

    make sure you grab a "can" of TRAILBOSS powder. The case is even more cavernous than a 45-70 and safe charges of most appropriate powders leave a lot of empty space in the case.

    HERE IS AN ARTICLE on TB is Martini Henry rifles as FYI:
