    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 Lee Enfield" by Ian Skennertonicon pages 348-350 gives a full description of this "Australianicon" made rifle, if you don't have a copy of this book my advice is to get one as it answers questions you did not even know you were going to ask!!!!!!!!

    Nothing mythical about the top one Warren. Not a sporter, but a BSA .22 Trainer trials rifle. There's about a hundred of them ... somewhere. The bottom one looks like it came out of the same stable but may be a pre-trials prototype. Very nice.
