    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 ...

    Tom, You could make a killing if you put it on Ebay as a rare commando front grip from a K GO, as used in Op Market Garden. You can then make repro's and the story will be true next year.

    Don't jest, some , chap, gave me 68 quid for a web pouch I got for £2 last month when I put it on eBay! I nearly fell off my perch!

    Incidentally I did copy the D.D. (E). For the two Commando K GO conversions if anyone wants them. The GOs used by the Recce Squadron at Arnhem were standard air guns.

    You knew I'd bite didn't you.

    I'll get my anorak

    ;D
