    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 all. Here are some additional photos of my carbine. As you can see the left side of the hammer has KR stamped on it. No markings of any kind on the stock. Thanks. GorkAttachment 99367Attachment 99366Attachment 99365Attachment 99364Attachment 99363

    most pot belly stocks will have no marking or at best an SA in the barrel channel at the muzzle end. I am sure it is a post war replacement stock as is the recoil plate.

    Here's some information compliments of member Newscotlander that will help on slide ID. There are about 6 types and not all variations are pictured. Yours is the M2, usually referred to as a Type 6. - Bob

    So if I'm reading you guys right. My carbine was arsenal rebuilt into m2 configuration then back to an m1 when it was surplussed out to the CMPicon. That's cool. USGI. Thanks for the info on the slides. Painter777. The Barrell was replaced a couple of years ago by the last owner. I'm going to contact the smith that did the work and find out the maker of it. I'm 99% sure the last owner got it from the CMP. I did not see it before the barrell was replaced, but I'm told that was all that was done to it besides a good cleaning. Thanks guys for all the information. Can't wait to shoot this little gun. Gork

    I may be wrong, but the barrel looks like it has a swaged on gas cylinder. If it does, that really narrows down who made it to the small handful of companies that swaged their gas cylinders on. In other words Inland, Buffalo Arms and RMC for sure.

    Painter. Got it in one. Just heard from smith. It is indeed a Criterion barrel. Hopefully I'll be shooting it next week. Gork

    I grew up in Flat Rock, went to High School there to 11th. Then moved down to Monroe for my Senior year.
    Plenty of fields to shoot in back in the day. Spent most of our time out at Pointe Mouillee (all quite different back then).
    Grew up fishing the Huron, Perch runs, Sheephead, Shad, Gar Pike, Silver Bass, Large and Smallmouth Bass, plus great Channel and Blue Catfish.
    Was there when the first Salmon plantings were dropped in at the City park in Flat Rock.
    Walleye on Lake Erie, if rough water we'd fish the mouth of The River Raisin out to the Harbor.
    Still run the Detroit river down to Gibraltar and dock a boat at friends on Grosse Ile.
    Thx to the zebras....... Much clearer water now.

    I believe you'll find yourself very happy with the new barrel.
    Do you reload?
