    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 ...

    I think it's the same book shown in the "For Sale Elsewhere" section of the Quartermaster Stores, which he's selling on eBay....

    I ordered one as soon as I saw it released...

    Thumbs up

    My copy just arrived in today's post ....

    Huge book and lit's oaded with a ton of quality pics on a wide range of scopes. I think it's going to prove valuable to folks who focus on sniper rifles as their primary area of collecting interest.

    Regards,
    Doug

    2nd printing is sold out.

    Robert is now thinking of making the 3rd printing into a pocket book type format for easier carry and reference.
    His forum has been hacked into and restarted from scratch.
