    Latest Build

    Finished a build I was working on a few weeks ago, using up some spare parts I had laying around.
    Used a Boyds/Dupage stock which did require some work to get fitted. Probably spent several hours fitting not including and finishing work
    Installed a nice used VAR barrel (MW .5 TW 1.5 ), used a 65 series bolt,did trigger mod so pull is a nice, crisp 5lbs.
    Also modified a NOS gas cylinder so the ring doesnt touch the barrel and beveled the lug so there is not handguard contact.
    First trip to the range rifle grouped decent but wasnt as good as I had hoped. Brought it home and found there was still some Op Rod contact to the stock and also needed to remove alittle more wood under the receiver as contact wasnt even
    She shoots pretty good now,

    Flyer was my fault

    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.
