    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    They are worth what people are willing to pay, like anything else. If you want a copy of the "The Guns Of Dagenham" and if they go for say £200 a copy, that's the price you'll have to pay, I'm afraid.

    Doing accurate drawings in CAD helps me think through the different design choices. OK, sure, I could get my T-square and triangle out of the shed and do it that way, but I've gotten use to CAD for my drawings. As for actually making this stuff, yes, hand fitting all the way once I've got a plan. CNC would be overkill.

    Now that I've stumbled upon a picture of the early trigger bar with the spring & hinge (and realized what I was looking at!) I see what the original intent was and how close the design is to the MP28 II. Actually, it was seeing a detail picture of the MP28 II trigger bar that helped me understand what I was looking at in the Lanchester trigger housing picture. My parts kit has the later, solid trigger bar which lead to some confusion on my part.

    In the event that anyone is still reviewing this thread, I have a question: has anyone seen a Lanchester which has both the rotational locking screw at the muzzle end of the barrel AND the locking screw through the magazine housing. I have seen an example, which is labelled as a Mark 1 on the mag housing. I know that the mag screw replaced the screw at the muzzle end of the barrel, but are there guns which have both?
