    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.

    That's one of the new ones Frank, you can tell as there's no finger spring for the center of the pivot plate, it would hold the rocker pivot in place. And of course the 16" barrel.

    I personally reckon and recommend a good dose of and smell of burnt gunpowder it is far better than any prescription drugs the quacks can offer to make one feel well again.......................Hope you get better soon imntxs564.

    One of those would be fun enough... I had a 1927 (new model) for a bit waaaay back. I didn't like the long barrel, nor the fires from a closed bolt thing. It's bolt was an M1icon bolt modified and had more springs that you can imagine...made it deathly hard to cock. The firing pin would about rupture the primer too. The recoil was almost untenable considering it was just a .45. The whole idea that you had to use a modified mag was repugnant though. The underside of the mag housing wasn't completely machined so you couldn't just use correct mags. The trigger mech was only half machined so you couldn't install standard parts. I found myself wanting the original, even if it was just semi.

    They are fun to shoot. Probably the closest you can get to the real thing without spending a small fortune. Just don’t shoot the real McCoy and you will be happy with it.

    I have shot one a couple of times a good while back and it's been in the back of mind to get one. Now with time ticking faster I have to get one. This friend of my Fathers had one and let me shoot it when I was young and I told myself one day I will get one, but his was the Real Deal and I remembered when I shot that Tommy it was a Maniac of a Firearm. I still remember how heavy it was and surprised I didn't drop it. I remember it getting away from me and just spraying everywhere. It was Fun as a youngster to shoot this Weapon.

    Cool

    I've had 2 M1A1s for probably 40 yrs. Always wanted a 28 or 28A1, but could never find one that I could afford. With prices what they have been for 15 or 20 yrs I probably never will!
    They are fun to shoot, but the high rate of fire of the M1A1icon takes a bit of getting used to. A 28A1 would be a lot easier on the trigger finger!
