    M1903A4 Dec 10, 1942

    The attached link takes you to an original report recommending adoption on the M1903A4 Sniper's Rifle and specials out the specifications.

    Readers will note that during actual production a number of changes occurred but IMO it always helps to know where you started from.

    Many thanks to nicolausassociates for posting this. Anyone needing reprints of techmanuals and other pubs should IMO always check nicoluas first. Top quality products and first-rate service.

    Regards,

    Jim

    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).

    I agree - great job!
