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.

Thanks TooTall ....

Actually, a good friend of mine owns a PTRD and on one of our annual training weeks at Milcun, he brought it out to shoot live. I have some great video of him firing it at 100, 400 and 600 meters.

Between work and this place, I'm up to my eyeballs at the moment, but I'll try to extract the sequences from the broader footage and put it up in the Russian icon

MKL

for play and download.

And for the metric challenged, what is that in grains and ft/sec?

**Claven2** · 10-25-2006 11:26 AM

976m/s = 3202 ft/s
63.44g = 979 to 980 grains

**Missing Something** · 10-25-2006 02:03 PM

I was testing out 1300gr and 1000gr & 750gr projos

At 2800fps, 3000fps and 3500fps

976m/s = 3202 ft/s
63.44g = 979 to 980 grains

is original specs
