    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 ...

    Coors is actually also pretty good for extinguishing a campfire (sorry HOH). I have one of these cups with "S.I.R." stamped on it. Anyone know what that might be?

    That is what urine is for. I did not notice you were from the great white north. If you like Molsen I get the comment and I may have to admit that you are probably correct on both counts.

    Ridolpho, I'd like to know about the S.I.R. as well. The one that came with my Ishapore is marked the same way.

    HOH: No nationalistic sentiments here. Molsen Canadianicon is also, at best, a beer-like substance. There are some good Canadian beers with a bit of flavour! Among US beers I'm a loyal "Oly" (Olympia) man as once, when I was a lad, it was the only beer on our local shelves during a government liquor distributors strike. Oh, and thanks Peter for that info. about "S.I.R.". Do you know if launcher cups were manufactured in India?

    After some research I have a few questions.
    Is it nessesary to have the wire wrapping? "Which I don't"
    I found a post where the fellow used a compound charge of 2400 & black powder. Has anyone just used BP filled blanks? If so which grade, ff fff or ffff?

    IMHO, Yuengling, which is a regional brew is a nector of the Gods. Molsen is like bedding a fat chick... It's fun until your friends find out.. No insults intended..

    Having an EY/grenade firing rifle without the binding is like having a Taxi without a sign - or a mickey mouse watch. Ok to look at but not much use when you need to tell the time. Just my take on things. I relate somewhere how the very last EY's were re-wired in the late 60's/early 70's.

    Back to the re-wiring programme. The irony was that the old lathe bed with slowed down reduction motor was still at the workshop when it was (all-but) closed down last year. As was a big roll of the same wire we used to bind them PLUS the EY stencil used to mark the butt. And nobody else knew what it all related to............
