    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 ...

    I think I only have excellent reprint Illustrated Parts Lists and Infantry Training Pams left in stock and not many of either left. I've contemplated having more User Handbooks and Amendments printed but the demand for books is so bad that I probably won't shell out the cash for a minimum order that will mostly sit on the shelf for years. People don't want to buy books even if they're reasonably priced anymore in my experience. Not when you can get a free printout off the "net". Blah.

    Go onto ebay and type in L42A1 Militaria and you will find what you want listed as a single item for £20 or £37.50 for 5 items all reference the L42, all are copies but are good quality. (and no I am NOT the seller)

    If you're seeking them in the UKicon, contact John at DS Solutions. He has a very few of the Infantry Training Pams left which is a great read whether you own an L42A1 or not. I only have a couple of copies left here in stock. I still have several of the Illustrated Parts catalogue available. I think the ones I had done are much nicer than the overpriced ones on Ebay.
