    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.

    Just me I suppose I think it quite sad they ended up like they did there are some nice rifles there the early T is one of them, Question; can a deact be made shootable again legally or once it has been done it cannot be made to fire again.
    In West Au deacts must have the following done, Bolt to be fully welded into the action not just tack welded (inside the mag well out of sight), Barrel to be welded into the reinforce (out of sight) and barrel to have slotted holes cut in it underneath along most of its length.
    Whilst I was at this chaps place where this butchery was being conducted there was an all matching complete 1916 5MD No 1 MkIII sitting there waiting for its turn at the welder and gas axe as the family wanted it for a wall hanger due to the father passing away that was pretty bad to see that happen.

    Most of the firearm laws in countries around the word are male bovine scat. They do nothing except place increasing restrictions on law abiding citizens.
    Instead of prioritising better mental heath treatment or stiffer penalties for criminals they choose to ban guns with little effect. Criminals do not obey laws and psychotic people are not known for great decision making.
    More lives would be saved if they banned smart phones and Big Macs but that would alienate them to the masses.
    Well that was my political rant for the month, Moderators if you feel the need, nuke my post but leave the thread.
    I'm just saying that we can't sit and act like the three monkeys much longer.

    Don't worry, they don't appear to be real.

    The "L39" for one seems to be actually be a 1980's 7.62 target rifle rebuild of a No4 mk2.

    Such a shame the Enforcer was chopped though, that's the rare rifle among this lot.

    They certainly are not cheap!! I like how they lay them in the gravel to take pictures of them.
