    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 ...

    Ressurrecting this thread from the dead to show my "sort of" MK5, although the correct designation is actually Mk IV. There were apparently only 13 of these specifically manufactured in a special run for Peter Wilke of Ontaria Gun and Tackle, a prolific Canadian dealer in military surplus firearms and associated exotica/raffica back primarily during the 1980s. They are a semi-automatic-only, closed-bolt gun, built on a Mk 5 Receiver, to include the 3 Alignment/End-Cap threaded Rods. There are no internals (Mesh, Spiral Diffuser, etc) as the barrel runs the length of the Suppressor Casing to project just past the End-Cap. The right side of the Trigger Housing is engraved "Sterling, Englandicon" over top of "O.G.T. Canadaicon" to denote the special run between Sterling and Wilke.

    Talking of the Singapore Police. We used to be the Base Workshop facility for them and the Inspector that we dealt with was a Mr Soliano. He was always pretty good to us, taking one or two of us into Singapore when we were dowwn from 'up-country' for various reasons, the main one being WORP's - or War Office Repair Programmes. The first L34's I ever saw were the New Zealandicon Army ones that were landed there and soon afterwards, th local SPF police ones. These were commercial ones with hand grips and if I remember correctly, small rubber disposable buffers in the return spring cap.

    The NZ Army ones were '.....up North.....' without wooden grips

    Ironically, seeing 'Mr Sterling' next week!
