Clever Marketing?

**Oatmeal Savage** · 10-29-2006 05:34 PM

I have limited knowledge regarding Enfields. I have seen military 4X2's for cleaning but is this clever marketing or is it bogus?

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.

Bah, those are not the official DND Lee Enfield cleaning patches.

I've got lots. You can tell the real ones 'cause they have little "LB" watermarks on every one.

Upon reflection I guess the question was kind of dumb. But it is how we learn. Thanks guys.

No, it's not dumb

But dude who is flogging those has a great idea! They look real and are likely identical to the yellow aged ones - except new!

It is great marketing. It gets guys to view his item who wouldn't normally see it.

I was joking about the DND patches. We're issued plain, pre-cut rectangular patches about 1x3 inches. No LB marks but they work fine in a No.4.

I got a few stashed away still, but I find those old flannel shirts that my wife was threating to throw out work just fine when cut into little strips.
