    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 ...

    That's good info. I guess we'll have to give it a pass until the bugs are gone.

    I hope it's not Riverbank Armory or an affiliate. George, or someone he hired, has been casting dogleg hammers and stamping GI markings on them. Selling them on Gunbroker and Ebay at collector prices. Note the mold marks they didn't machine off this one.

    I wish someone would make a quality one of these M1icon Carbines in rimfire here in the US. I would not give 15 cents for anything made by Chiaapa. The bugs cannot and will not be worked out of them unfortinately..That is my opinion of them and anything else made by them. JUNK

    If a Company like Ruger or maybe Smith & Wesson would come out with something like this made of high quality they would sell very well in my opinion. I would buy one.

    Ruger already has the best selling .22 rimfire in the country in the 10-22. I don't see them making one.

    PLastic! Ugh, I'll just keep my Ruger 10-22. It has been faithful friend for almost 40 years.

    Too bad too. My local shop finally got a couple in and they're cute. I just don't want to wade into something that won't work. I'll put thousands through it, some guys won't. Maybe the light use ones will work OK...
