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.

Actually, the CAGE CODE is 1M291 not IM291 and 1M291 is CHECK-MATE INDUSTRIES, INC. . Yes, they were produced on a government contract. I have somewhere the contract information like date of contract, number of magazines order and total cost of contract but I yhink the dog might have eaten it.

I spent Nov 65-Mar 66 at Ft Carson with the 5th Inf Div before going to Vietnam. Really a nice area, only problem was the number 1 target in the US was a couple of miles away up on the hill.
Again thanks for the info.
