    Absolutely. Peter: you probably don't want to let the world be more aware of your James Bond alias -- "Captain Mainwaring" (unless I'm mistaken, which is more often than I wish) -- Mainwaring is probably Ian Fleming's role model for "Q;" fighting the forces of evil with inventive contrivances. Informants have recently leaked: there were probably secret listening devices imbedded in those DP rifles, hoping the Ruskies would use them in Sovieticon Bloc countries where we could spy on the KGB :-). Behind the scenes Captain Laidler may even have an entourage of beautiful 007 ladies trained as Britishicon Armourers (but don't tell his wife!). MI-5 is proud of you.

    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 ...

    Nope...... this Mainwaring was taken from the one from Dads Army - due to the fact that another author for them went under the name of Cpl Jones!
