    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    They weren't too worried about preserving and tagging items when that fellow was taking a fire hose to her. I realize it's to lose the weight of the mud for the sake of the crane but did they have to use the biggest hammer they had. Probably a fixed bid and not an hourly job.

    Lots of pilots, both Germanicon and Britishicon, owed their lives to this design during the Battle of Britain. It was really a funny situation: the Germans used them as an air/sea rescue vehicle for downed pilots, picking up Brits and Germans ind1scriminately. In this role they sometimes even marked them with red crosses. Knowing that they were a bomber type, the Brits didn't particularly avoid shooting them down, unless they knew there was a rescued Brit aboard!
