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.

Curt, I beleive he sells alot of repo parts. He will usually state they are repo so I would ask him if it is before you bid. Just my thought.....Frank

Curt,
He's selling another one with UP stamped on it. Check this one out.

They look to me like both stamps are fakes.

**phillydude** · 02-04-2010 07:47 PM

looks to be a type " 1A " anyway

**Curt** · 02-04-2010 10:32 PM

well I cut and pasted the pic of his swivel and cut and pasted a pic of ABC leighs UI swivel and put them side by side on my screen and found clarity in my decision making.I was un-able to find a good known original in pictures to compare them to. I did compare the UP to the known good one on my Pedersen. If you guys see a good blue one show up on auction even un-marked please drop me a line. Thanks All!

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 02-05-2010 03:30 AM

I wish you the best of luck Curt. Keep looking.

Sorry about the swivel you found on eBay -
I only wanted to show you the seller had a 'production line' deal going on selling his fakes.

**Curt** · 02-05-2010 04:54 PM

I'll keep fishing, I wasn't too heartbroken!

There are so few real ones out there any more. It is disheartening.
