    Arrow Royal Ordnance Factory Bishopton

    A link in the Scotsman Newspaper took me to a site with a lot of photographs relating to the old Royal Ordnance factory at Bishopton near Glasgow. Further links on the site showed many photos from the old Nobel explosives factory at Ardeer. The photographs and site appear to belong to a Ben Cooper who has published a book about these sites which is shown at this link.

    As the site is slightly confusing to get the pictures in the correct order I have listed the URLs for the parts.

    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.
