    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I only have photos of one. And they're old and not outstanding, unlike the pistol, whish IS old AND outstanding!:





    Argentineicon Naval Contract of 1924 issue number 30 of 78 total. Barrel lockup is "bank vault" tight, and it shoots extremely well.

    Now that ammo is twice the price it was 5-6 years ago, it doesn't get exercised as much, so maybe it's time to re-install it's original safety. Shot and won a few CQB matches with it at Ft. Benning.
