    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.

    If he ever wore it he must have used a pocket protector as that embroidery wouldn't have lasted a month otherwise.

    We can't claim J.P. Lee as he was born in Scotland, but J.C. Garand was another example of the Canadaicon to USAicon "brain-drain".

    John Garand - Wikipedia

    Part of the huge emigration from Quebec to be more precise: Quebec diaspora - Wikipedia

    It's interesting how the Quebecios who migrated within Canada tended to maintain their language, while the assimilation in the USA was almost complete.

    Any thoughts on the flash hidder?

    Presumably inspired by the original flash hider of the M1919 Browning MG, which in turn was probably inspired by the Frenchicon Hotchkiss 1914 MG?
