    found an interesting 303

    Trying to find out who assembled these rifles in Canadaicon. Apperently left over parts were shipped to Canada and then assembled and used by Canadian Rangers. There are no identifying marks. Any info would be helpful, problem is I will probably wind up buying it even though i just spoke for a S & W 44 mag. There are just too many guns to buy

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    If there are no markings how are you sure that is what it is? I'm just curious.

    My EAL

    Serial# 1186 or 1188 not sure on the last number.

    Peep sights flipper 200/400 yards. It has taken many deer and more than a few moose. Love the gun.

    Thanks for the information. I never knew that about it. Makes it even more interesting.
