    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.

    Grafs.com were the first to carry the Hornady ammo for 7.7 Japaneseicon and others. I've gotten plenty from them.

    I had a problem with a box of 7.7, and the guy who runs the place has been FAR less than helpful in dealing with the issue, even when I followed his instructions to the letter. I might post more if I ever get what he owes me.

    The Hornady is great stuff. Knocked a blacktail deer off its feet last year with mine (2nd series Kokura). 75 Yard shot. It will print cloverleafs at 200 yrds with iron sights. I don't know if it's the rifle or me, but I would bet on the rifle....

    I avoided the Japaneseicon rifles for years until I found an all matching T-99 at the local flea market for $75.00. I cleaned her up and went to the range and I was very impressed with the way it would shoot so I went ahead and bought the dies and started to reload my own. I've since added another T-99 to the collection and she shoots very good also.

    Yes they shoot good and reload easy using Lee dies and .311 bullets. Privi brass is good. Graf&sons has it.
