    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 ...

    Not the same - even better!

    Not quite This one is a .505NE. The first one (6.5x57R) was this link
    http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=3363624

    - a different auction number.
    The seller has more than one of these horrors, and appears to be producing them one by one, maybe so as not to cause too much shock to our sensitive souls!

    The original perpetrator of this misplaced inventiveness must have been a spiritual twin of Heath Robinson.

    And those things come from the Land of such beautiful 'form follows function' designs as BMW autos and the Messerschmitt 262?

    Hmmm. OK, then! Let me round up some stuff. Some is just pieces any more.

    I wish I had a photo of K. Lundquist's silhoutte match dominating Stevens tip-up pistol with the duct-tape covered pine stud "grip" and rust "finish". THAT'S an ugly gun.

    I am pondering if the auction pieces aren't some elaborate movie props or something. "Brass Compass" or "League of Mediocre Gentlemen" or some such silliness.

    The do look a little like something a crummy Marvel comic book character like Sgt Nick Fury might have in his arsenal!

    DC comics would surely do much better than those things though! -
    Sgt Rock would rather wear grandma panties than give up his Thompson SMG for something like that.

    I think it was made to appeal to those "steampunk" aficionados.
