    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 have got a funny feeling that it was used to centralise the old windage-left/right adjustable backsight cap when the backsight assembly was modified by rivetting the cap to the leaf. All of the old ex-adjustable ones I ever encountered on DP's, EY's and in service with School Cadet corps had the cap and leaf rivetted together. But I could be wrong

    To re-line the windgauge or cap of the backsight of rifles No.1:-

    The tool, sight line, and scriber will be used in the following manner and as shewn



    First re-brown the windgauge, assemble it to the No.1 “A” sight leaf, and adjust it to its central position, i.e., with the original top centre line (now browned over, but visible) in correct alignment with the centre line on the leaf, and with the windgauge screw spring engaged in a notch in the screw-head. Next place the sight line tool over the windgauge and leaf, and see if the lines on the windgauge are in correct alignment with the tool; reverse the tool to verify. Then, with the scriber (which should not be too sharp), trace over to brighten the lines at the front and top of the windgauge, reversing the tool as necessary.
    The above instructions, so far as they apply, will be followed when re-lining the fixed cap of the No. 1 “B” leaf.

    C'mon Pete, you've been wearing those constrictive caps you mentioned for to long.
    Or sucking on the red wine and destroying braincells.

    Yep, it's about time we took Australiaicon back and taught you wild colonials a lesson. And while we're about it, We'll take NZ back too! I'm fed up with all this cheek from them. I'll get a gunboat sorted out after lunch.............. I've always wanted to shell Rockhampton into oblivion followed by Canungra

    Got my first taste of sandflies and midges at Shoalwater Bay - or rather, they got their first taste of me! I had to go to the CRS the next day and the MO told me it was because they could smell the tasty meat of a pom! I was eaten alive but after a few weeks I just tasted and smelled like the rest of the nashos. Anyway, Shoalwater is in for a shelling too!
