As it stands now.

This has been fun and educational.

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.

I saw the first pictures as the "How it stands now" ones (long day!) and was about to launch a tirade of abuse. I then scrolled down and saw what an amazing job you've done, congratulations!

Retrieved from the dead. Well done!

Range report!! Looks like a beauty.

**Rumpelhardt** · 05-28-2012 07:08 PM

Sorry no range report with the new forearm yet. Two trips with the other forearm were lets just say a bit disappointing. 5 shot groups averaged around 2" vertically and about 6 " horizontally. I spent a lot more time fitting this forearm so I'm hoping that does it. That is assuming it wasn't all me which it could well be lol.

I think you went the wrong way with it!

That pistol grip rocks!!!! That cheek riser is the coolest thing going!

All you needed was to cut the barrel down to 14in., add 5 or 6 rails and paint it in some Desert camo!

Seriously though great job bringing her back from…… well whatever the heck that was!

I couldn't see the foresight block and bayonet lugs on the original barrel. Were they still present or did you re-barrel it?

The barreled action is the same as the original pictures. I just replaced everything else.
You can't see the bayonet lugs because of the crappy pictures.
