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.

Dude, that is one UGLY M44 mod. I like the sling

The original leather slings are uncommon in Canada icon

Yeah but this one's got a Chinese RDS and a frickin' laser. Note the tactical zip ties.

Why Why Why

sigh

oh well it just bumps the price up a little more for original parts.

Well, to explain the camo'd M44............

I was given an M38 with a bubba'd stock. It had a piece of wood added to the top of the butt to give it a more "straight-line" style and a recoil pad added. Stock fubar, metal good.

I bought a $75 Polish M44 for the stock and put the M38 in it.

So there I was with cans of BBQ paint and Krylon OD and a ruined stock, so I "improved" it.

The RDS is just sitting on top of the rear sight.

No actual milsurp part was reduced in value by me. Too bad I can find the pic of it with the 6 volt flashlight duct taped to the forearm.

Oh boy... can't believe you fessed up to that one!!!

FWIW, it's still restorable

Nope, the woods ruined. The top of the butt was reshaped and an extra piece screwed and glued on. Then it looks like the guy used a handsaw to square off the butt before adding the recoil pad. Handguard's split too.

That's why I painted it. No loss at all. I'd never mangle anything in original condition.
