    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 ...

    Would be interesting to be very friendly with all the old ones in the area, or were in the area, to find out where those Brens are. Those Bren magazines have to fit somewhere.

    I'll bet it's like around here, the stuff is still held in reserve waiting for the day they want to "Do Dodge City" in the front yard...

    STENS were considered disposable. Surprisingly light rust considering where they've been for 70 years. Sad that the Frenchicon Government is welding 'em into paper weights. Wonder where the Brens are.
    There was some woman over there who had had an operational Tiger or Panther(forget which) in her garage until fairly recently too.
    "...the governments in exile..." The French government in exile was De Gaulle. Who was self appointed. He wasn't actually elected until 1958.
    Spelling and Grammar count!
