    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.

    Charlie, I am curious about how fuzzy the brown ring is around the primers. I assume that it's sealant, but it looks a bit corroded ???

    Seller is holding 1800 rds of it for me, until I can get a chance to go see it. He's about an hour away. At .15 cent per round.........well worth the drive. Even if I have to pull it apart and 'freshen it up'

    Thanks guys
    Charlie

    Well, you will pay that for just bullets. So pulling the bullets plus cleaning the brass will be worth the .15 cents per round even if you don't reload the powder.
