    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 ...

    There really isn't much to read, and it isn't new (it came out in 2006). It is a picture book with very nice full-page period photos. I have both the M1icon Garand and the Carbine volumes.

    Sample of the photos in the M1 Garand volume:

    I have this book. I bought when it first came out. It is a fantastic one with photos I have never seen before. If you like well photographed books on the Garandicon this is one to get!

    Well worth every cent for both the Carbine and Garandicon books

    If you like WW2 the whole series would be worth it

    I have the Garandicon and carbine books, its just surprising he doesnt point out the pics of early gas traps, when theyre shown in use, or type 1 carbine stocks.

    No, but I did read "The Last Stand of Fox Company," a new one on the Marine Chosin Reservoir battle. It will be reviewed in the next GCAicon Journal. Fantastic.
