The Lee-Enfield is one of the 20th century's most recognisable and longest-serving military rifles. It was adopted by the British Army in 1895 and only replaced by the L1A1 SLR in 1957. It saw combat from the Boer War onwards, and thousands are still in use today; it is estimated that 17 million have been produced. Soldier's recollections of the rifle are overwhelmingly affectionate (it was known as the Smellie); today it remains a very popular target rifle for competitive shooting, and modern copies are being manufactured to meet demand. Featuring first-hand accounts, brand-new full-colour artwork and close-up photographs, this is the story of the Lee-Enfield, the innovative, reliable and long-lived rifle that equipped British and other forces through the world wars and beyond.

The Lee-Enfield Rifle Number 4 Mark I* was built in Canada at the Long Branch Arsenal and many aficionados consider the old warhorse to be the best of all the variants fielded during the Second World War. This book contains the parts identification lists detailing by illustration, descriptive part name and part number, for all parts of the Rifle, .303 Calibre, Lee -Enfield, No 4, Mark 1 * and its associated equipment including bayonet, frog, action cover, wire gauze and pull-through. Parts are listed in top-down breakdown sequence to show major assemblies, sub-assemblies, and component parts. The relationship of each part to the next higher assembly is shown by indentation of the part name in the description column. Restated for emphasis: This book only covers the Canadian and Savage No. 4 Mark I* and not the British manufactured No. 4 Mark I and 2.

Finally, a complete guide to improving the accuracy of the venerable Lee Enfield rifle, whether 'as issued' or a completely modified target rifle. Applicable to all Enfields of the 20th century, from the No1 and No4, to the jungle carbine and including the Ishapore 7.62. With 220 pages and 365 photos this book looks at the tricks and tips devised by the old masters, many of which have been rarely recorded until now.

A highly detailed modern study of the British Army's sniper weapon's, optics, and all associated equipment from 1915 to the present.

In this tour de force—part historical thriller, part modern adventure—from the New York Times bestselling author of I, Sniper, Bob Lee Swagger uncovers why WWII’s greatest sniper was erased from history…and why her disappearance still matters today. Ludmilla “Mili” Petrova was once the most hunted woman on earth, having raised the fury of two of the most powerful leaders on either side of World War II: Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. But Kathy Reilly of The Washington Post doesn’t know any of that when she encounters a brief mention of Mili in an old Russian propaganda magazine, and becomes interested in the story of a legendary, beautiful female sniper who seems to have vanished from history. Reilly enlists former marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger to parse out the scarce details of Mili’s military service. The more Swagger learns about Mili’s last mission, the more he’s convinced her disappearance was no accident—but why would the Russian government go to such lengths to erase the existence of one of their own decorated soldiers? And why, when Swagger joins Kathy Reilly on a research trip to the Carpathian Mountains, is someone trying to kill them before they can find out? As Bob Lee Swagger, “one of the finest series characters ever to grace the thriller genre, now and forever” (Providence Journal-Bulletin), races to put the pieces together, Sniper's Honor takes readers across oceans and time in an action-packed, compulsive read.
