    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.

    You have a man on this forum named Saddler that works in making reproduction leather military slings. He's located in Scotland so he's close to you. PM him and see what he has. If that doesn't work then try pacificcanvasandleather.com as they show an "Australianicon" sling that would do.

    I didn't know there was ever an issue single point sling, but there are often leather target SP slings listed on fleecebay. I've got one for my Anschutz, but you'll need to make the hitch narrower to fit a L-E swivel. Cheaper than having one made ... I reckon.



    PS; Pigs fly just fine, given enough thrust .

    thanks Jim thats very helpful ta.
    bulletbill I'm having trouble getting my pigs to fly lately... the're obviously not getting enough thrust
    singlepoint slings are probably not correct for classic shooting but they sure are more comfortable
