    When they were selling his estate I believe you could by the 2vol set for $60. Always good for unwritten tidbits of history about AO Niedner and his operations.

    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 ...

    Michael also took some gorgeous pictures of rifles in his collection in color, which, admittedly, the pictures in the book don't do justice.

    Thought I'd bump this one more time.
    I recently purchased "The Book of the Springfield" from 1932. Likely the first book written with in depth details on sporter 1903s. So far it's been a fun read...the author does not hold his opinions back!
    Michael Petrov's books were also great, of course!

    Anyone heard of any other book I should try to get my hands on?
