    New site on Enfield Resource, for repro leather work

    Just announcing I've put up a new listing on Enfield Resource.com, for repro military leather work, including great stuff for all sniper scope cups of many variations. Looks good and should be a godsend to collectors and restorers.

    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 ...

    John Moore has certainly re-learned an almost lost art or skill. I showed a bit of his leatherwork to one of the old 'equipment repairers' (another long lost REME trade) and he was quite astounded at the quality

    Jon's work is primo and the extent he goes to in duplicating even the leather texture and grain is unbelievalbe. I've seen a fair bit of his work and have nothing but praise for the quality of material and workmanship.
    Glad he decided to stay in the UKicon...

    I can vouch for Jon's handi-work as he made up a couple of scope tin straps and a Lyman Alaskan scope cover set for me a few months back. Top notch work. He is a true craftsman.

    I know his work, and he used to be a re-enactor so he knows what's what.
