    Sterling SMG

    Hi guys,

    I hope you can help me? Is there a difference between the Sterling Mk 3 and Mk 4 working parts and barrel?

    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.

    Peter's book is very good. I am sure you will enjoy it. If you don't, you know where to find him for a refund.

    Not that I would part with my copy...... but it's nice to hear something I own is going up in price.

    It would be nice to have an electronic copy for the iPad.... hint, hint.

    Ask Collector Grade to consider it. But the trouble with such a beast - as I understand it as a totral computer illiterate - is that if you have it, then all of your mates will soon have it too. That's a good idea on the face of it, but they ain't paid and I don't get my measly royalties..........

    Apple's iBooks are tied to you credit card. Probably not a good idea to give out copies, as they can be traced back to you. I am sure there must other security measures, or nobody would publish them.

    There are also lots of good free gun e-books out there. The Machine Gun by George M. Chinn is wonderful reference.

    Will let you know what hear back from Collector Grade.
