    I remember taking a Type 38 carbine (mum intact) from a 12 year old that was walking down the street banging the muzzle on the side walk as he was walking. He said he found it sticking out a garage can. It was missing the bolt plug (safety), firing pin and firing pin spring. I got the parts and recrowned the muzzle and it shot rather well. At the time the ammo cost more than the carbine was worth. Later rebarrel the carbine to .308 Winchester and sold it. I remember that it kicked like a mule in .308 Winchester.

    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.
