    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 ...

    The one shown is real.
    I think this is the same guy some here had bought packaged oilers from.

    The weave, maker font, maker placement, C clip, and the package in that picture all look good to me. If you had $1500 I guess you could buy a sealed package of 10 and know for sure.

    I bought some sealed oiler packs a few years back from him. They were costly. More in the sealed pack then 6 loose, go figure, but legit.

    His name is André

    If I was looking for a lost stash of WW2 parts

    Franceicon would be a nice place to start. I've heard that this guy is 100% legit. I bought the replacement pawl for the carbine tool from him, that went great.

    I bought the pawl and bolt tool, too. Both were correct and shipped very quickly. I think I got it from Franceicon on the 4th day.

    Ditto. Super-fast shipping, very responsive to questions, and the item(s) I bought from him are legit.
