    Historical Query

    Whilst my "bag" is Lee Enfield Target Rifles I do need to do some research into P14 & M17 Target Rifles.

    Can anybody tell me if there has been a definitive book on the subject; (other than Ian Skennertons writings) by an American author (or other) and lastly has there been an American (or other) marksman in the sphere of target rifle shooting who has used either the P14 or M17 to such an effect that they have left an "historial" mark on that period of shooting that either of these two rifles have been used in on the American/Canadianicon side of the pond?

    I will explain fully when I get some information on the subject.

    TIA

    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 ...
