    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.

    I have 2 that I have owned for 30+ years and still have all my fingers. Yes the are worse than the M1icon thumb if your fingers get caught.

    You also might want to try our Google CSE custom search engine located in the top right corner below the words "Advanced Search". It only searches our site using Google techniques and can be quite efficient. For example, in your case, type in the words ljungman and see what happens ..

    There are some old discussion threads and pics on the subject.

    Regards,
    Doug

    Have had a couple, but only retain the first one. It's sort of a high polish version, apparently done before the serial number was applied. Can only guess it was for the palace guard or something.

    I have the Swedishicon 6.5 Ag42. no problems. Then I found the Egyptian Hakim in 8 Mauser. Same rifle, but with a very efficient muzzle brake. These rifles use the Frenchicon tilting bolt and direct impingement gas system. Very well made. LOW recoil. gary.
