    Joe poyer's book

    I Tried the search function but came up blank, so I guess I'll have to repeat a question that I'm sure has been answered before. Sorry.
    But here,s my prob- I,ve got 3 1903s, all in various stages of arsenal reworks, so none are completely original and may never be, but I am trying to get them as close as possible. I,m using Poyer,s book as a guide, but am finding apparent mistakes, incomplete data and confusing statements, at least as far as individual parts markings and finishes are concerned. Has there ever been a compendium of found errors, or at least argumentive entries or.......?
    Or do we all really want to answer my dozen or so questions?
    Many thanks.

    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.

    Poyer has numerous errors. I found several just relating to Remington M1903s. One of our most knowledgeable members of this forum regards the book as "birdcage liner". While not so severe, I don't recommend it.
