    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 ...

    Yes...again with the theory of API...which I still insist is black magic... So in theory a heavier spring keeps the breech closed longer and is even SAFER than a weaker spring...

    Not if you don't think about it too much. When you allow it to create pictures in your head, you'll have sleepless nights...little movies like...

    Instead of a long discussion about it, we should just have a milsurps convention in Nevada and blast off 50,000 rounds of 9mm into the desert.....in magazines of 29 rounds.
