    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.

    No, but there may be a gold mine in hinged bands, hiding in Canadianicon basements...

    On a Canadianicon site, I receieved the response that they were made for the early 1941 No.4's and are very rare.

    I posted these pics a few weeks ago of an LB hinged band that arrived on a rifle I purchased. To be honest, I did not even pay attention to it when the rifle arrived. I was taking the band off to get to the barrel and as soon as the screw came out, the band opened up and that is when I realized it was hinged. It was a nice surprise.

    It has since been removed and placed on a correct rifle.
