    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.

    Bennell Machine of Brooklyn, NY made an experimental sight... don't know much about it, but I examined one on a gun in Burt Kellerstedt's collection. I don't think it had any specific relationship to the T20.

    That was sort of all I could find was a general reference but not for this rifle. I was just wondering what it looks like as this appears to be the outer mount only.

    I'm thinking since he's a noted author this comes from a book he's published?
