    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.

    The Webley has been altered to 2.5 inch .410 shotshell. The barrel remains rifled to comply with Federal law. In the 1960's there were several magazine articles about how cheap surplus Colt .455 New Service revolvers were made with lengthened cylinders and frames. I suspect these spurred some craftsman to make the Webley.

    The Webley cylinder was lengthened from 1.45 inches to 2.5 inches. The frame was lengthened the same amount.

    I bought this from two brothers who retired as welders/fabricators. The did not have any history on the gun but said they bought it as the gas welding was amazing and they felt it was a true labor of love considering the fixtures that would have been needed. It was done before MIG and TIG wire welding.

    That is really neat! Have you fired it? If so recoil and target spread?

    Perhaps welders in general tended to more skilled craftsmen, years ago, than perhaps the average welder today? Some of the old boys could do amazing things with a gas welding torch that we would struggle to do today.

    Since Mk VIs had a 6 ton pressure capacity would this gun fit the parameters?

    I suspect that the welder/fabricator who did the conversion, years ago, was not too bothered about it fitting any sort of parameters.
