    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Surely you jest, RJW!

    It's written by a certain Laidlericon fellow, who may have seen one or two.

    lol, you're right there, Peter's love of detail matches my own really well.
    I've felt let down before on books about T snipers before so I was feeling cautious.

    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.

    Highly recommend both books. They are a good read and provide great reference material.

    In fact, I would highly recommend any Peter Laidlericon or Ian Skennertonicon book that you can find.

    They all represent exceptional value for money considering the time, research and knowledge that has been invested in them. Especially when you consider that they are all produced in small print runs.

    Well done, Gentlemen.

    Regards,
    Paul

    +1 on the recommendation.

    Couldn't have done my No4(T) project without either of the books!

    Invaluable information
