    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.

    IMHO the letters on the left side of the stock are AAOD = Anniston Army Ordnance Depot. That is the first welded-up M1917 I have seen photos of.

    100 1917 drill rifles were available, at 1 per customer, or i would have more .. like you i had never seen or heard of them....so..i wanted one. i removed the handguards, and cant find a weld at the receiver and barrel junction.
    it is blugged at the breach end as well as the muzzle, i bet i could turn the muzzle end out..but then that plug at the breach...hmmm. right now, im leaving it as is.
