Saw this photo in the paper today of a French icon

police officer carrying a rifle. What kind of rifle does he have? It caught my eye because of the wood stock which you do not see much if these daysAttachment 59257

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.

Looks like a Ruger Mini 14 or as sold to France icon

a special variation of the AC 556 could also be chambered for 222 Rem or 223 Rem

Wow I thought I was the only one to notice that mini.

Does it have sights? Or are they too small to see on my monitor?

Used quite a lot by what were the Royal Ulster Constabulary, now Police Service of Northern Ireland up until the late 90's. Great light little rifle with little recoil. Sights are fixed, sold two DEAC's recently in chrome finish ex RUC
