    COMING SOON!


    Not the final cover design, but close. The Britishicon Sniper. A Century of Evolution is the most comprehensive study of the British sniper in recent times. All the principle weapons and associated equipment of the last 100 years is illustrated along with many personal accounts bringing the featured equipment to life.

    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 ...

    Same here can go next to my Skennertons "The Britishicon Sniper", availability, who from, would be nice to be able to go direct to the source instead of ABE or Amazon as they get their cut.

    I am aiming for the book to be a real collectors grade quality book. It will be hardback and lithograph printed with a stitched spine, not glued. The trim size is currently looking to be 276mm x 219mm the thickness is yet to be determined as originally I was aiming at a 400 page count but that is in all likelihood going to increase due to the number of images which is around 750. Everything is now with the layout designer and I’m racing to get it finished this side of Xmas but unfortunately this is the printers busiest period so it’s going to be tight. The final price of the book is yet to be determined as the main cost of printing hasn’t been finalised due to the final dimensions still being in the air. The book will be available direct from me and I will be shouting about its release date here as well as on Facebook and Instagram. Your more than welcome to pm me with your email address to register your interest but when I have a firm date for release I will be inviting people to prebook their copy.
