    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 can't really tell from your photo. But from what I'm able to see it looks like a repo to me.

    Yep, looks like an aged repro. Single weld is a dead give away.

    Russ,

    As far as being a legit USGI band it looks fine to me . If you can e-mail me some more pictures I can tell you for sure.

    IRM,
    Increase the picture size.
    I can clearly make out the center and right side weld spots, while catching just a peek of the left weld.
    Don't be to quick to judge.........
    Or it may be off to the Gallows for most of us....

    Cheers,
    Charlie-painter777

    BTW, That barrel shows the bare spot where a early band sat, while being parked/Phosphated. Nice example... IMO
