    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 ...

    Aside from Skennertonicon's book, (which is not small by any means), that's about it.

    There is a large color format book in progress. I guess it is two years away from publication.

    I was asked in general to contribute to the book but I think it best to speculate no further as I have seen these deals fall apart for many reasons. Time will tell if it begins to mature.

    I understand, I was floated an offer to do one, hence my wondering if there already is one out there, I didn't want to knock my self out if its already being done by someone else. It would be fun, and it would be a lot of work.
