    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 ...

    Now those are interesting sights. How about a little history on those puppies?

    The Kragicon sight originally displayed is a Model 1901; the one on your rifle is probably a 1902.

    Warner Objective Sight

    The Warner Objective Sight was patented by Robert Warner and Adolph Niedner January 1914 .
    Sight was tested without recomendation of adoption.
    Hopefully Loy will give us some infomation on his Bassel And Blenkner sight.

    It is such an improvement, I wonder why it was rejected? Too complicated for quick manufacturing?
