    No Lance you will not be forgiven
    (Inside joke, you have to be in on it to understand)

    Got number 27 today THANK YOU
    Haven't had the time to read it yet but i did go over it quickly and all i can say is so far it's definitively worth it.
    The pictures are awesome and it's one aspect that has been missing from most of not all books 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 ...

    But, will I forgive myself? Eventually; but if you do the math you can see I get to remind myself 1,000 times, as of this note I have 310 to go!

    The book arrived this morning, Lance, amazingly quickly - one week to cross the Atlantic! I haven't had a chance to read it properly yet of course, but have had a quick skim & it looks great. Well done!

    My book has just arrived this afternoon. I must not be distracted, I have things to do before it gets dark....

    But I couldn't resist a quick peek and it looks brilliant, thanks and well done Lance!

    Three of them were delivered today. We were very happy with it being so fast, though the friend who will get one of them will need to be patient until I can drop it off with him .

    I received my copy yesterday. I flipped through the book. I like the pictures. I'll start reading the book soon.
