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.

The really sick part is if he hadn't used it and put it away, he'd probably get $100 for it now. The pic is touted as 1944...I have a couple...

I had one Chris, I understand...

I have a WH '28 and a WH M1A1 icon

and a Savage M1 . Also have a Meryle .22 kit for them . Shoot them almost as much in .22 as in .45 now . Shoot them a lot more than all the other full autos . Less than my Garands , M1911s and my OOW BAR , though. Still , I would like to have that " real " '28.

Mine was serial 68038 and was a Savage gun. Nicle bolt, machined ejector...third pattern Cutts, folding Lyman, anchor on the stock. GEG inspection stamp. It had the twin grips but I made a forestock from scratch. Think I have a pic here...

**rayg** · 01-01-2015 08:36 AM

Good job on the forestock. I bet that 28 with the drum was a heavy sucker. I have a Savage M1A icon

and with a full 30 rd magazine is not a really feather weight either but I can just imagine that with a full drum how heavy that was, Ray
