    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 ...

    Adore it. I've trained and operated behind a number of LMGs but none have the solid sweetness of the Bren. I'm still getting to know her with less than 500 rounds on the range, but am astounded at how accurate the weapon is. Not just accurate but also comfortable - it just feels right when you snug in on that big wooden stock and grab a handful of chunky pistol grip. Yes the trigger has a loooong pull on the rounds selector position, but after adjusting my finger technique for a faster and smoother transition through to the break, single round aimed accuracy improved exponentially. My Dad operated a Bren in WW2 and picked up on this, noting that I was firing her the way I fire my Lee Enfields. He should know, having served at Hythe. (He also enjoyed kicking my legs around into the correct prone position.) Recoil is mellow and linear through the shoulder with very little barrel movement, making rapid aimed fire a joy. Automatic fire is a learned skill on any weapon and I'm still adjusting my technique to keep on target with controlled bursts of 3-4 rounds. Love how the gun ejects downwards, and how the innards clunk forward when the sear releases; this is a man's gun with no plastic ergonomics, shiny lights or magic metals. When the cockroaches emerge victorious after the nuclear apocalypse you will find them regrouping beneath a Bren.

    I specially enjoyed on here that we'd converted from 8mm to 7.62. We had a few mags of tracer and it seemed to just place the "red dot" on the target perfectly...every time.

    Yes, except this was before that. It was like a red spot appearing on the target every time, in the same spot. I remember it well...
