    Parallel Enfield Universe

    Hello fellas from the CSPicon site.
    Do many of you already post at MilSurp site’s other Enfield forum (The Lee Enfield Knowledge Libraryicon Collectors Forum)? If not, have you checked it out?

    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 ...

    Sorry, missed you original post....

    Just too much to keep up with in the last few days ...

    I think what you're referring to is the Milsurps.Com Lee Enfield Knowledge Library Collectors Forum (click here), which has been operating for a brief 8 months and is already over 400 threads with 2,200+ posts.

    One of the very first polls started by Stevo when this site first opened in the fall of 2006, was titled Milsurps Interests Poll (click here). The most interesting fact from respondents to it over the last few years was the amount of members who are Lee Enfield collectors. The statistics started out high and have pretty well held solid approaching about 80%. Also, many of the posts in the General Discussion Forum (click here) are about Lee-Enfield related subjects, so we felt it was time to give the Lee Enfield collector community their own dedicated forum, relating to the collecting of Lee Enfield arms, accessories, ammunition, and accoutrements. We did that in July of last year.

    There's a special Lee Enfield On-line Knowledge Libraries (Index of Articles) thread at the top of the forum, that permits readers to quickly locate and view any Knowledge Library entry that is specifically related to Enfield collecting.

    Similar to the design of our individual Knowledge Library entries, this forum runs specially designed software to permit members to open, view and arrange pictures in real time on their desk top (option selected by original poster), without having to open new browser windows or leave the forum. It is open for members for new posts (or edit their previous posts), reply to any other member's posts (with quoting capability), insert and host multiple pictures within any post, plus it integrates directly to Photobucket for those that use that specific site to store their pics.

    Regards,
    Badger

    "this forum runs specially designed software to permit members to open, view and arrange pictures in real time on their desk top (option selected by original poster), without having to open new browser windows or leave the forum"

    The phot feature was one of the first things I noticed when I registered here back in August '08. A great feature. I really like to zoom in/out function.
    Thanks for your reply.

    I was registered here before the CSPicon migration, as were some others, but many were only active at the old site with it's comfortable, ten-year-old format.
    Give them a minute to get oriented.

    (Admittedly, it will be a bit odd, having two Enfield fora on the same site...maybe the bigger one will eat the other?)

    Most of the CSPicon Enfielders were "double-dippers" here long before the CSP move.....I know I was and had the site bookmarked, even though I was an infrequent lurker.
