I've considered scrapping that mess more than once myself! That old aluminum sheet metal is getting quite brittle. It was never conceived when built that it would last this long. One of these days it'll self destruct altogether.

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.

Could this be what the farmer was thinking when he found all those Spitfires?

I'm still waiting with baited breath for these Spitfires.............. Surely, just a sniff at some wheels or ...... well, just anything would be something to go on..............

Just when you thought it had faded from the news, look whats back, and apparently someone with money wants the booty.
