The Lee-Enfield Story
by Ian Skennerton
The nett product of more than four decades of international research and study, evolving through two prior editions and many other related titles, this record is surely the ultimate account of a centurys development and issue of the Lee-Enfield rifle. From the Remington Lee trials rifles in the mid-1880s to the 7.62mm NATO L42A1 sniper rifle serving in modern conflicts, the Lee has proven itself as the finest battle rifle of all time. No other longarm has served for so many years, in the theatres at home and abroad, with such a proud record of service. This work encompasses all aspects of Lee-Enfield development and production, in Britain, America, India, Australasia, South Africa and the Far East. The rifles, carbines, bayonets, component parts, tools, accessories and ammunition are arranged into specific groups and chapters. No proper reference is complete without a comprehensive index; this too has been expanded from the previous editions. With such a broad field of models and variations, a new initial chapter enables newcomers to identify items by their features and markings.

Catalogue of the Enfield Pattern Room - British Rifles
The basic function of the Pattern Room is to provide a service to Ministry of Defence departments involved in the design, manufacture and quality control of service small arms. Samples of complete weapons, component parts, tools and accessories for all British small arms are retained as reference guides for the use of official departments and approved contractors. Because the procurement policy for additional material has always included prototype models as well as service equipment, many of the items held are the only surviving examples of their type. This catalogue describes one section of the Pattern Room collection, British and Commonwealth manually operated shoulder arms. Included are certain foreign designs which have identifiable British connections, such as arms which have been adapted for trials in this country.

Allied Rifle Contracts in Americal 1914-1918
by Luke Mercaldo
Allied Rifle Contracts in America is the first work to fully explore American production of foreign military rifles for the Allies during the First World War. The demands of the war caused a number of Allied governments to enter into contracts with American industry. These contracts resulted in the production of a number of different rifles. Featured are the histories of the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1895, which were produced for Imperial Russia, the Model 1889 Mauser, made for Belgium and the Pattern 1914 which was built for the United Kingdom.
Additionally the book provides rare insight into lesser- known contracts for Berthier and Rolling Block with France, and the Savage Model 1899 with Canada.

The Birmingham Cartridge Manufacturers
by C W Harding
An in-depth review of the former munitions companies in Birmingham and a fascinating insight into the social history of its workforce. The Birmingham Cartridge Manufacturers covers both shotgun cartridge and metallic cartridge production across a huge range of products giving examples of their related patents and headstamps. It is profusely illustrated with cartridge photographs together with those of the staff and their former workplaces. The author traces the rise and fall of these companies as they sought to match the demands of the day, often fuelled by both home and overseas wars and their diversification into other areas of production. The many companies covered by the book include BSA, Westley Richards, Kynoch, WW Greener and The Midland Gun Company, whose former ammunition production is now all but forgotten.
