    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.

    Remember to check ALL the serial numbers against ALL the rifles...mismatched bolts and such. I once found and MG34 that was sold here in Canadaicon(Converted auto) and compared it with another that had come to the shop for blueing...the front of this matched the back of that one...how's that for odds?
    Regards, Jim

    I can see them. That's a T99 trigger guard and magazine and follower.

    FYI, when taking pictures of rifles show the stamps in the metal and cartouches in the wood,,,, those are the "money shots"

    Lucky man you are.....
