Now I have embarked on my shooting club probationary, with a view to getting a SMLE from WW!1 can I assume that the Ian Skennerton ‘The LEE-ENFIELD’ Skennerton A Century of Lee-Metford & Lee-Enfield Rifles & Carbines book is the one to get. t's not cheap so just wanted to check.
Cheers

I think the latest, greatest revision is "The Lee Enfield Story"? Someone check me on this.

In terms of the content for information on perspective purchase, or general story? I assume this is still Skennerton?

The Lee Enfield Story is the first in the series of revised and updated. The one that sc-em mentions is the most up to date with the most pages.

There are also some buyer's guides by Skennerton, which will supply enough info to help you purchase wisely without wading through the bible.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Well in the interim I have bought this one which is great as it is the year I want to get my SMLE from.
Not cheap though! I am just checking with a UK vendor of the other book to see if it is obtainable.
