To go along with the week's focus on self-loading Enfield conversions, we have a copy of Ian Skennerton's Small Arms Identification volume #13, Special Service Lee-Enfields: Commando and Auto Models. It's only about 47 pages long and predominantly on the silenced de Lisle carbine, but also includes information and some photos on all the different Lee Enfield semiauto and full auto conversions - the New Zealand Charlton, the Australian Electrolux Charlton, the South African Reider, the British Howell, and the Howard Francis blowback carbine.It's not a whole lot of info, but more than you'll find on these guns in any other print reference. And hey, the information on the de Lisle is very cool too.
