    Devil's Own: very interesting. Not often a scope of that age gets such a test, or that the results are made known!

    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 ...

    Hi Surpmil

    Now that you put it like that, I guess I was pretty hard on it. BUT my philosophy is that it has to be used to justify it's inclusion in the collection. However, I will go a little easier on it in future. Trouble is that I really like using this rifle and the iron sights and the thing loses zero badly when removed. Anyway, I would never have taken it apart if this hadn't happened, so I've learned a bit about the scope.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Now you git me thinking of taking my unit out for a spin again. It just hurts my feelings looking at a formerly nice peddled scheme rifle w/ a Britishicon A5 scope scabbed on. I mean, It's just not right! Shoots well though.
