    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 ...

    Well I checked out that site Jim and that seems to be a 'dead end street". The links still work for info on the various rifles etc but the store is closed and the contact info also garners no results!
    I'll keep looking elsewhere. Bunker to Bunker books out of Calgary was a good source once upon a time for like minded books, I found a old email from them and requested a reply as all the old phone numbers are currently out of service. Kinda like searching for a rare rifle! lol.

    Often , if you dont get a copy when it come out, you'll pay much more later, if you can find one at all.

    We had a series of high ranking Indian Army Liaison Officers (Lt Colonels and Colonels) at the Schoolof Inf at Warminster, Trying to get info about Indian small=arms production from them was like pulling teeth. They did extract a high exchange price for an INSAS rifle, believe me! In fact, it was easier to get a free flight and stay at the Jat Regiment depot for a week for the Indian Independence Day parade in New Delhi

    I did get some facts about Bren to L4 conversions but little else..........

    Trouble is what we regard in the "Western world" as "militaria interest" some places may regard as spying or attempting to spy.

    Book

    It isn’t an easy book to find and is very pricey when found.

    I do have volume 1, but I believe Bob did 4 volumes on Indian Lee Enfields.
