    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've been watching these same items on GB. I could only wish someone could come up with the Enfield version of the 03A4 that is being sold for around a grand... Could this be a viable commercial opportunity?

    Only if you could purchase it and resell it. Presonally I cannot. Have this problem with getting attached to one once I buy it. I consider myself a steward of what I collect.

    That last rifle is mine. Not having the reserve price met gives me the opportunity to take it down to my neighbors 100 yard range to see how it groups. I'll also take the opportunity to adjust the sights to bring the group on center of target. I've been wanting to do that for some time now, but just haven't gotten around to it. My eye's aren't too bad, 20/40 or so, but by looking through the various peep sight apertures, I find that everything appears sharp again, like when I was young. So...who knows? Maybe this rifle is just the ticket for getting me back to the shooting bench!

    I think a "Gibbs" type Enfield Sniper reproduction would probably be a smash hit with shooters. Would be cool if it came with a repro transit case too!

    Century Arms did a run of No.4 T clones sans scope and kit 3-4 years ago. Did'nt take them long to sell out.

    The trouble with the kits, if it's anything like the kits that I saw fitted some years ago, is that they were just 'screwed-on'! I say 'screwed-on' when I should be saying 'screwed-up'. They'd been fitted without any thought. That's one of the reasons I told the form how to do it properly. I saw one while I was at a small competition and the bloke could only get about 8 minutes left deflection. The job was a complete sack of shxxx. That's an Army phrase that you might not have heard in the delicate climes of civillian life. It indicates '.........a degree of cack-handidness with the hammer and drill me old chum'.

    THere were two sequels to the tale, The first was that he told me that it was all original and the second was that even if he'd stripped it all down and started again, he'd ruined the rifle body with his cack-handed use of whatever he'd used to drill the holes. It didn't look like he'd used anything that I recognise as a twist drill!
