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.

William Steinen Co. (WW2 supplier) sold to Eaton Pond used for Inland. When subcontractors could not supply enough parts to a prime contractor to fill an order,they bought parts from other subcontractors,stamped their code on it and filled the order out. Not humped. Sometimes that happens and you get an odd piece that should not belong on your rifle but, sharing of parts to keep things going happened.
