    .50 CALIBRE BAN - UK

    Interesting to see that the current Conservative Government want to leave things as they are in respect of 50 Calibres, but the Labour Party want them banned. Hopefully commonsense will prevail as the rifles themselves are very expensive and therefore it follows that the current owners are fully responsible and licensed to use them in the areas they have designated to their local Polcie Forces. Not sure what the fuss is about, but glad they all have a more pressing distraction to leave the shooting fraternity alone.........enough is enough!

    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.
