    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 ...

    Can't make unfortunately, topping up my Brownie point tally by taking the family to Newcastle for a couple of days.

    I'm umming and erring about going up. Its quite a costly day trip, and the last time I went there didn't seem to be much actual firearms stuff amidst all the militaria & ephemera.

    ......which can occasionally work to our advantage! You're right of course; at one stage we were the only exhibitors with functional firearms, but it's risen to three or four lately - plus a few others who are RFD's but who only bring deacts to the show.

    Good to see you Neil, the look on your face said it all......I managed to pick up a bit of bargain at the last minute nothing Enfield related but may go on an Enfield at a later date.

    Forgot to mention the usual suspects Roger, Dave and Paul good to see you.

    Still got that ga ga look on my face now, Geoff!
    Thanks again for all your help - will be posting pics of the Trials (T) on the forum to celebrate its return to GB from the States very soon.

    Good to finally put a face to Bigduke6, Buccaneer and to catch up with Roger and Dave again

    All in all a good day - felt like a 6 year old on Christmas day...............

    I did have wry smile or chuckle to myself at your comment in thread 2 Simon. I don't know about the rest of the world but surely, a rainy day in Birminghamshire with a grumpy wife in tow would definately bring more on more brownie points than a sunny day in Geordieland.............
