Hello all. Fairly new collector and glad to have found this wonderful resource.

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.

Good day everybody, retired Navy subs. I collect and restore 2a and 2a1 Ishapores (x8). Own a few Enfields (x2) among many many others. I enjoy reading the threads. As somebody once said "Life is to short to shoot an ugly gun".

Joining as a new member, I belong to other milsurp forums also. My first milsurp was a M1903 Siamese Mauser in 8X50 MM purchased in San Leandro at Trader's in 1972. Hope to learn lots of new facts from my peers..

Hello to all. Newbie here. Love to collect and shoot all types of military
surplus.

**bennyboy** · 04-27-2010 11:00 AM

Just wanted to Introduce myself.
Have been collecting firearms for 5 years now.

My grandfathers neighbour passed away and I was asked to clean the house. His wife gave me a box and said "put it at the side of the road" When I opened it up it was full of his journals,Uniform and a hitler youth knife.

From that moment I was hooked. I have have trouble choosing my area to collect but have loved hearing and reading everyones posts.

Thanks Ben
