    All I can say is that I got a spare copy to go with my copy of G.o.D. - I don't feel bad about it

    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 ...

    Just because its a Sterling based thread, here is one of 5 tatty old spec deactivated Sterling's I bought, cosmetically restored and sold a few years ago...

    Lets see how long it takes for those with 'the book' to date the KR serial number!

    John,

    So sad I missed one of those for my collection. You certainly brought them back from the dead there. Here's wishing!!
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA

    I had the Pleasure to know as a work colleague, & a Friend. Mr. Frank Waters, who when Sterling's closed down. Came to work as the Senior designer in The Drawing Office.
    Of The Armament Firm I used to work for.

    Some of the tales & information I leaned from Frank. you wont find in any Book!....
    Had some great stories about George Patchett as well. What a brilliant Inventor He was!
    A few tales there as well!

    A Very clever & Experienced Man. & a Great tragedy after he retired from us for good.
    Sadly passed away six months afterwards.
