    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 ...

    I assume by "GOOP" you mean grease, and in particular OLD grease. Straight Simple Green, undiluted, does a really good job of cleaning GOOP from machinery with the help of a toothbrush and some water to rinse. Need to repeat to get things squeaky clean if grease has hardened. Prolly not deadly enough for you though.

    Gun scrubber. But some have suggested on here it might hurt your finish. So..... I've used the simple green also. Good stuff, less toxic I guess. Still is pretty stiff though.

    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
