Ian Skennerton's "The Lee-Enfield"

Post by Aughnanure » Sun Nov 18, 2007 10:05 pm

Just received my copy of the latest, 2007, edition.

This is a truly superb book and one that no lover of the Lee-Enfield ought to miss out on; over 600 pages all told.

So long for now, got some readin' to do :bigsmile:

Duncan,

Could never afford one before but it's on Special at the moment.

Just put 'Skennerton' into Google and go from there.

£49.95 at Fultons, just finished it and although he has committed the sin of printing gibberish over the L42A1 ammo without checking and a few typos it is a very good book!

Is it worth the spend just to upgrade from the old one ?

Depends if you've got the old one :D

Possibly not, but for anyone that hasn't got a copy at all and is interested in L-Es then the current offer is real value.

I'd say there is enough new material to justify buying it, if you're a diehard Enfield fanatic, that is. Most of us qualify as that, alas.
