    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.

    My 25Pdr smoke projectile and case the round must have been at extreme range the markings are near perfect of course the fuse suffered a bit from the landing but that's understandable.
    I know its a 2 piece arrangement projie up the pipe then the propellant case but I lack room so have it put together, the projectile is still pretty heavy even though its basically hollow. (303 MKVII for scale Btm Rt.)
