    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 ...

    That's an awesome collection sakorick! If you get time I would like to see some close-up photos. I'd like to see what the cartouches look like.

    Here you go. The Remington has Frank J Atwood's FJA on the left side stock just below and under action, boxed P on bottom of grip and Red River Army Depot RRA-C on right side of action indicating it went through the depot and reissued at some point in time. The -C is a mystery unsolved.

    The Stevens has a boxed Springfield Armory L side center buttstock with several unknown initials under the SA and a very vivid circle P on the grip. As you know, these cartouches are fairly rare as they went through overhaul many times and the stocks were refinished. I would say that both of these stocks are original to the rifle.

    Mossberg never used a P proof cartouche but did occasionally stamp the Ordnance cartouche on the r side center of the buttstock. These are very rare as 99% of the Mossies went through many Depot overhauls during their long lifetime. There are several of these shown on the Mossberg forum, Rimfire Central under the 44US sticky. Regards, Rick.

    Just out of curiosity, does it have the Britishicon Proofs? The last 1000 rifles in the contract stayed home and as such have no proofs.....fairly rare. Regards, Rick.
