    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I assume you have tried CMPicon? A serial lookup costs $25, but you can get lucky. See the Fall 2009 GCAicon Journal article "Joe Roberts, Sniper."

    I would ask CMPicon to find something very close in SN and have it shipped ASAP. I very much doubt if you ever find the exact SN, but fixing up a clone is OK. Good luck.

    There's supposed to be 86,000 Garands coming back from Korea-but I don't know how you could check numbers when they get here.

    I am close

    I rebuilt 100596x and have saw an original 100963x. The original one came out of a barn from a stack of rifles. When my friend said he wanted to buy it the lady said you have to take the whole stack. How much $200. Gee can you do better. Nope. Oh well, OK. The owner has been offered $5000, but won't sell. See if the CMPicon has a barreled receiver with a serial number close. Rebuilding it is not bad. Only the rear sight is the hard part.
    Good luck. I have been looking for my father in laws rifle. SA 1523350. Carried it when the 63rd Infantry Division pierced the Sigfried Line. I found one at a show 20 numbers off. It was a Korean War rebuild. I've been looking for 10 years now.
