    It's early days yet, but

    It's early days yet but by employing a computer company that can recover the non-recoverable, they have recovered from an old PC the complete Bren book. This and the photos were deemed lost in transit after they were initially sent to the US for publication by LMO. Sadly they can't recover some of the photos and especially not the originals that are seemingly lost forever. As are some of the original wartime manuscripts. James Edmiston (owner of Sterling) will be overseeing the publication.

    So give me a bit of time and it'll be out there

    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 ...
