The SMLE rifle of the British military forces was in continuous front line use for more than seventy years and is still found in daily use in the arsenal of many military and police organizations... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The text is beautifully written and there is a wealth of technical detail about the changes and their date of introduction. Despite my possession of at least three of the primary references, this text is well worth having because it provides in readily available form, the absolute detail of what variation took place, and when.

I was given Vol. 1 and 2 as a gift and they have both been more then helpful in identifying the different marks, variations, etc. on the several enfields in my collection. The books are well written, easy to read and easy to understand. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who is a collector or just interested in the S.M.L.E. rifle family.

Very informative book. Much more so than I expected. They analyze every nut and bolt, etc.
Accurate

As always in this series a small but useful and rather complete volume about SMLE rifles. They are worth every penny (or cent), fair price for lots of information.
