    Rumours abound re continuing manufacture of Ishapore No1s.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    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 ...

    I was thinking about this very subject just yesterday too.

    Is it time for a list?? A survey of Ishapore No. 1 MkIII/III*/3/3* dates and serial numbers? That would give us a sub-list of the latest dates. No 2A/2A1's, thank you very much.

    For instance, I have

    an undated Mk III* with a '40 FR date and
    a 1954 Mk 3 with Iraqi markings.

    Certainly not the 'newest' but .....

    Latest dates known on Ishapore 303s is 1988. On Ishapore 308s is 1972. Yes, 303s were made later than 308s.
