    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 ...

    RIP Cosine26. I always enjoyed your stories about three separate wars you were in and all the personal experiences you shared. Again you go before us...still. See you soon enough.
    Regards, Jim

    I posted a link in another thread to the obituary for member "englishman_ca".
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    I just thought I'd inform the community of the sad news my good friend Chris Lewis passed away recently, cjlewisenfield on this forum. Although he was not a regular poster he certainly was a regular viewer. He unfortunately had an allergic reaction to nut or nut oil in food, despite having no previous allergies and passed suddenly.
    Some of you had dealings with Chris over the years and will remember him as large man physically, in character, appetites and in kindness. He was an avid Enfield enthusiast and was a confirmed regular at Bisley with many friends, a genuinely good man in all ways and will be greatly missed indeed.

    .... I just found your post and i am quite sad to learn about his passing away...
    It does answer some questions i had but i must admit, not in a good way...
    englishman_ca was an inspiration with his amazing work and vast knowledge of the early Lee Enfields.
    Not to mention his willingness to help in so many ways.
    On several occasions he helped me and i'm also an owner of one of his restored RIC
    You could say he was a mentor to many of us.
    The community lost a huge member and his knowledge will never be replaced.
