    Don't forget the Infantry Training Pams. Mk.1, Mk.2 and L4. I've got them available until my supply is exhausted.

    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 ...

    Slightly annoying if you purchased it without realising, expecting it to be written in English.

    I must confess to unwittingly purchasing a car related manual that was being offered at a bargain price, some years ago, at a show. It was only when I got it home that I realised why it was being sold cheap..........it was written in Frenchicon!

    Thing is though...they don't go down in price and a good hard cover book is always a good addition. I know Peter doesn't like the Bren Gun Saga, but the pics are excellent. Sometimes you even see pics of guys you know in there...like the Sten book...

    The book came in todays mail . I could not be happier it is in brand new unread and still in the plastic protective cover as it was shipped from the publisher. It will go very well with my Bren Gun semi auto as rebuilt by Wise Lite Arms . The information in it is very interesting as to the development stages .

    Currently $772.52Cdn on Amazon. $399.00US on AbeBooks. The thing is out of print, so if you want it you have to sell an organ and pay what's asked.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Dang, those are crazy prices! And the author makes zip in secondary sales. They should just electronic publish, but I guess that has it shortcomings as well?

    Think I will try collecting the pubs Peter Laidlericon suggested.
