    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 ...

    Try The Carcano Page: website all of its own. Lotsa information there, even a really good bio of Salvatore Carcano.

    Lots of input from Italianicon collectors, too, and some of them really take their Carcanos seriously, as is only right and proper.

    Carcanos are just dandy rifles and they certainly do not rate the vast majority of the disdain which has been heaped on them since November 22, 1963. If Kennedy (NOT one of my favourite people) had been popped with an M-1, would all Garands have become instant dreck? I rather doubt it.

    Just something to think about.

    There is an EXCELLENT book on the Carcano written by Richard Hobbs done in 1996. It was a limited printing and I've been after Richard to do a reprint and hopefully he will. Unfortunately there is no ISBN number that I can give you for it, but I'll see if I can track Richard down and ask if he is still going to do a reprint or not. Complete book name is: The Carcano...Italyicon's Military Rifle by Richard Hobbs, published in 1996 and a second edition published in 1997. You might find a copy on some of the used book sites.

  9. Thank You to Warren For This Useful Post:
