    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 ...

    There is a guy who sells repros I think his name is Bill Benz (sp?.) Someone else will get the contact info for you I'm sure. If you buy a front sight I would suggest buying the rear sight slide with the larger aperture too. It's more optically compatible.

    Capn,

    Saw a USMC front sight listed on Poppert's gun parts today. Have not done business with them but they seem to have a lot of parts if they are all available.

    USMC Sights

    CapnJohn,

    Bill Bentz (dcm450shtr@comcast.net) does still sell the reproduction USMC sights. I know this because I purchased a set from him about 3 months ago. He includes a front sight blade, a rear sight slide with the larger aperture and some instructions on how to perform an install. He charges $75 which includes shipping and insurance. I was very impressed with the parts that he made however I no longer have a need for them because I am now considering an A4 instead. I would be willing to sell you the set I have for $50 shipped with insurance. All parts are unused and as new.

    Semper Fi,

    Darryl (GigerTiger)
