    Latest addition to the collection, SMLE Sht .22 IV, arrived today.








    Next two pics show the charger bridge drilled and tapped, any one know if this was for a paticular sight, mount etc




    As for the last one, think they all look better with one of these on

    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 ...

    Very sweet.

    I think every one with a SMLE in .303 should have one in .22 as well. Keeps 'em guessing at the range.

    Its surprising how much ammo one of those will expend during a single range session. Haven't filled the mag housing completely full, yet, in one bout, though.

    A very nice rifle!

    If it was purchased from a RFD in Surrey, I think I looked at it several weeks ago and bought a No.1 Mk V SMLE from the same chap. Nice guy to deal with.

    I don't have a .22RF Lee Enfield yet, but it's on the wish list!

    Kind regards

    Mike
