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.

Am intrested to see, how further forward the inner barrel band is set, as i have only half the forestock of an original ,but even this compared with an mk111 is different, any photos etc would be appreciated.

I took the night off so mebbe I'll remember to find the MkV and measure it. Its hard to think of stuff after being up 23 hours straight. Ain't able to stay up days at a time anymore!

Bindi, it likes boat tails fine, unlike quite a few others I've shot.

The front trigger guard screw is tight but is there a chance that it's a bit too long and is bottoming out in the threads before the receiver and forend are in tight contact? Could the screw bushing be too long?

Seen that drama before, Steve, but think that's been checked. Overrun right now, but it'll be checked again. Can't promise quick feedback.

Mr. Duke, here's an example of "don't believe anything you see on the internet". The inner band location is NOT different than the SMLE Mk III. That jmoore fellow doesn't know what he's talkiing about!

More likely the collar is too long. The wood has probably shrunk, or the collar was replaced with one that did not fit properly.

Thanks Jmoore, some pics would be nice.

See the ongoing pic dramas in the Remington-Lee thread. I'm telling y'all my computer-fu is weak, and if work picks up I'll be back to lurking! But meantime I'll see ....
