    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.

    I really cannot remember what wood Ken used but it was not a common one, he kept it for a special project and decided to do up his Lee and this is the end result, Ken has been a stock maker for 40+ years and followed his Dad who was one as well. I did try and buy that from him but sadly failed. He did the draws on my T in such a way they will never wear out he manufactured a block up out of aircraft grade aluminium and set and pinned it in place and I will be dead and ashed before my T leaves my grasp and Ken was the only stock maker in Perth I would trust with such a job. (You cannot tell the mod unless you strip the bottom wood off the action)

    I am happy to share something with the crew here of a true master craftsman as you can imagine a shapeless piece of wood turned into the fine piece you see here.
