    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 ...

    RJW, do you know any more about this or is it just a home made shorty up for a quick sale? I ask because there might be much, much more to it that I learned of while in NZicon where I found the remains of another with the correct story attached

    Maybe it belonged to one of those little folk from Hobbiton around Matamata.

    Interesting.... On this one however I am innocent of any explanation, I suspect homemade in the fashion of a pig bail up rifle, a somewhat popular style here, to cut a 303 very short.
    It reminds me of one of those very short Russianicon carbines of the big flame and loud report.

    Thanks Paul - can't get this image of squads of "vertically challenged" people stomping around the hills down there!

    Mind you, that's a pack of hobbits I'd leave well alone!

    Silly Kiwi, everyone know a shotgun is the best for beer defense.

    In my younger days I shotgunned every beer in sight. Now I only do away with the ones that are threatening me.
