    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 ...

    "The Freedom Builder Magazine". I prefer my magazines to hold 30 rounds. I served as an Advisor in Viet Nam. This sure brings back bad memories.

    Are they M14's OR M1A's NO Select Fire parts to be seen

    If you take a look at the Right Marker's rifle you will notice the ABSENCE of either the connector OR any of the other"nasty" parts like selector shaft locks etc.

    I wonder if they didn't have some outfit like Springsteen Armoury or whoever build them up a few hundred(?) chromed up drill rifles out of(HOPEFULLY) scrap parts.

    Scruffy looking lot is all I can say and the way they are goofing off on a parade square would have had MY old drill instructors in a tiz."IDLE ON PARADE" or some such ROAR even IF they were at "Stand Easy".

    Gaudy looking uniforms too.I am going to print off a copy to show a long retired Royal Afghan Army General I know just to get his impression.HE trained in Germanyicon way way back.Shows too ! His oldest daughter works at my bank and is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS I might add.JR

    Wonder if they are Polytech's. China bought our tooling and they still produce them as far as I know. Marstar in Canadaicon sells them for $400 Canadian money ( would be less for U.S. dollars but thanks to clinton they can't sell to U.S.iconcitizens ).

    John, I do see the cutout for the FA selector on the stock.
    From what I understand, even the US Army didn't keep the FA parts installed normally, having the selective fire parts were the exception rather than the rule.
