    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 saw the rifle listed, far from correct, should still have a keystone operating rod spring

    Fakes

    The problem with Rick's explanations is that each time he tells us what is wrong with a cartouche, it is ammunition for the next faker to improved his work. At some point only the wood itself will betray a fake. Maybe we should urge him to give a thumbs up or down with no elaboration.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    While I appreciate this logic and I don’t mean to be morbid....
    What happens when the folks that have this knowledge pass away? If no one knows how to spot a fake at that time, what difference does it make?
