    Book - Telescope Sighting No.32 by Peter Laidler

    I have seen several references to the Telescope Sighting No.32. Book/Manual written by Peter Laidlericon.

    Is this publication still in print?

    Where can I purchase a copy?

    Thank you

    Paul

    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.

    Excellent pair of books for the Enfield collector and both can be ordered directly from Brian Dickicon at BDLicon ....

    Thanks for stocking these for everyone Brian ...

    Regards,
    Doug


    In addition to being a trained and highly experienced military Armourer, he has authored two excellent books about the No.4(T) sniper rifles and their No.32 scopes. They are titled "An Armourer's Perspective: .303 No.4(T) Sniper Rifle", which he co-authored with Ian Skennertonicon and his own dedicated work, "Telescope Sighting No.32".

    If you're really interested in some in-depth learning about the No.4(T) sniper rifles and the No.32 series of scopes, their history, evolution, repair and adjustments for shooting, we'd highly recommend those two books, which are pictured below.

    Yep - only just recently re-read An Armourer's Perspective (above left in Badger's post) and as well as being packed with interesting information is a good read too!

    I bought my copy from Brian. At the risk of sounding a bit repetitive he is an outstanding guy to deal with. Kudos to Peter for taking the time to put this valuable information down on paper and to Brian for keeping it in print.

    I picked up The Armourer's Perspective today ( thanks Ian ! ) and it is a very good read. Next will be the scope book.
    If you have a gunshow handy ( Perth would be the closest at my guess ) you may find Ian there with a truckload of books.

    You won't find Peter's telescope booklet with Ian. Guys in the UK and Europe can get them from DS Solutions in Englandicon as well as myself.
