    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 ...

    BRILLIANT........ made my afternoon.......... Mind you I don't thiuk that those UKicon forumers with a bent for health and safety should watch it - for fear of bringing on a heart attack - or at least a weeks worth of stress. No gloves with all that cutting lube and swarf on the lathes. Where are all the goggles/safety glasses.........? And as for those old fashioned ratios being used, such as 4/5ths of the steel machined away instead of 80%. How did the US ever manage to produce so much using these formula and lack of health and safety at work? Proof firing by hand instead of remote firing. Whatever next. As for the hand action of the attractive girl at 06:26s. It's disgusting......... I need a lay down to recover - and dream!

    Great video Bruce andf thanks
