    My JH Steward eyepiece with 'Iris' (hole size adjustment like a camera) , built in coloured filters and a place to insert a prescription lens.

    Lovely piece of kit.

    Showing two of the five filters (Yellow & Blue) and Iris almost closed and 75% open.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    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.

    There's something familiar about that setup, perhaps I have another around. Looking through it again the other day it was somewhat amusing to note that unless the mounting tube was cut considerably shorter the iris only began to actually change the FoV at close to the narrowest position. Or in other words, the aperture created by the length and ID of the tube was smaller than that created by the iris until the later was almost at its narrowest setting.

    Though on second thought, that would be dependant on eye distance from the iris and the widest setting seems to match the tube ID when the eye is about 4 inches from the iris. Better try that in the prone position again before taking this any further!

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
