    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 ...

    They've done a second printing and I just received my copy today today. Because they don't take PayPal, I had to get someone in the UKicon to forward the funds to them on my behalf.

    Yes sorry about that Gary. The museum had to drop PayPal as they assumed they were gun runners or something and held their funds for 90 days every time a payment was made, and as you couldn't speak to a human it became an absolute nightmare. Far easier straight into the museum account, but do appreciate those that are abroad have various glitches.
    Hope you enjoy the book and thanks for supporting both charities, and for your patience.

    Paypal has been holding about $20,000 in my Clubs membership dues for more than 5 years.

    Yes someone needs to get aboard Paypal, their practices have taken a nose dive. I have just been put right it was 180 days............the only winner with our megre amount was Paypal on interest as OUR money gains them interest. It was a lot to the charities!!
    Hate to think what your amount makes them in interest alone.
    In the end we had to send a copy of our birth certificates and one other document with our home address on it, and suddenly the money came forth.
    All because the museum called the Paypal account the title of the book FALKLANDS WAR SNIPERS DOWN SOUTH, from that someone in their centre in India thought we sounded like gun runners and flagged the account.
    Take legal advice would be our way forward. Yours doesn't sound right at all. One thing we learnt, you have to maintain the pressure as often as you can, and be a pain.

    The Club executive members who set up the account are no longer involved and not cooperating so the money is probably lost.

    Someone needs a class action lawsuit...
