    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 ...

    Definately NOT Arnhem. It's been numerically proved time and time again. The guns that were at the Airborne Trials unit had been returned by then and all the serial numbers are recorded out - and back in to Patchett at Dagenham!

    Why o' why do these commentators, researchers and authors who really ought to know better STILL keep repeating the worn out old mantra that the EN in Sten indicates Enfield. Nothing of the sort. It is Englandicon. And the papers from the period still exist and are quoted ver-batim in the book exactly as told by Harold Turpin. That's as close as it's possible to get to the proverbial horses mouth. But a bit better that one published article which stated that the word STEN came from an amalgam of ST, as in Sterling and EN, as in Enfield
