    I'm wondering if the loss of fore end support may have adversely affected it's accuracy. Was the barrel cut shorter, or just the stock modified? Regardless, a range report would be great!

    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 ...

    More 1899 Reminton-Lees in Michigan

    Ypsilanti (Michigan) Historical Society Photo Archives, online digital image, showing 1900 winter parade. Photo of SAW Veterans/Michigan National Guardsmen marching west on Congress Street at the bridge.
    (IMHO: I would guess parade is on Thanksgiving or New Year's Day. Rail Tracks on Ypsilanti street probably Railroad or Inter-urban. Men are carrying 1899 Lees in unusual manner, maybe due to cold, strong wind, treacherous footing and road sloping up hill).

    Maybe before or after parade? Going to a muster point. Parades are formal affairs and they are not in any kind step.

    Shoot it Jon! I'd love to have one of the 1899s in 30/40 to play with in Vintage matches, always liked being different! I note that the 1899s two front lugs would have come about after the 1898 2200fps Kragicon load debacle. Perhaps an attempt by Remington to produce a rifle that would handle the load and get a govt contract as the Krag's replacement.

    Hi, will a earlier model 4570 mag work and fit in the Model 1899?
    Or did the magazine get redesign for the 1899?
    I saw a 1899 in 7mm and think that's the odd duck caliber for these.
    Thanks
    Mike

    'mwhite49' - The Model 1899 Remington-Lee used a different magazine than the earlier models in Black-Powder calibers.
