    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.

    There is a portion of the original drawing shown in Skennertonicon's "The Britishicon Sniper". The mating surface of the base is concave if I remember the drawing correctly, though there may have been a change to two flats, as I see the reproduction mounts offered on eBay at the moment have such flats rather than a concave 'shoulder'.

    There's actually a picture of a machined receiver and copy base on this site:

    With thanks to member Valleysniper, there's an excellent article in the Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here).

    WW1 Periscopic Prism Co Ltd London Telescopic Sight Strip Down

    This interesting article is accompanied by a very nice photo montage, detailing the complete "strip down" of a WW1 Periscopic Prism Co Ltd London Telescopic Sight.

    There's also several MKLicon (Milsurp Knowldege Library) entries in the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here), accompanied by hundreds of pics and closeups of mounts and scopes in the various photo montages, that I'm sure will give you want you want.
