    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.

    For what rifle? Here’s a link to an eBay seller who makes handmade leather slings for the GEW98. I recently bought one for my Chileanicon 1912 Steyr and was very pleased with the product. Not at all the cheap stuff you find at certain online retailer. He makes slings for a number of different Mauser rifles.

    If you’re looking more for a carrying sling than shooting sling, I have one of these. Has a cool early 1900s safari vibe:

    Yugoicon slings are common. Just do a web search or go to ebay.

    the original issue sling kind of SUCKS for a person who likes wrapping the sling around his arm for shooting.
