    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 ...

    Looks cool! Who did the conversion? What kind of 22 magazine is hiding in there?

    The conversion is my design, the magazine is for a AR15 from Ciener mounted inside the M1Aicon mag.

    Hmmmm. Odd! Usually I reach for a 7.62x51 when a 30-06 is too much...

    It's a nice rifle and I'm sure it's a lot cheaper to shoot but it sure seems like a waste of a good warrior.

    The receiver has not been modified, so it could be put back to original at any time. Below are the parts that were removed and replaced with modified ones.
    It may seem odd to have done this but the fun factor is very high.

    A Square 10,
    With a little work you can add a magazine assy. to your rifle. I did it on my 03 conversion.
