    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 ...

    Not a big sporter fan. That being said it seems well done. The vented forend,handguard is an interesting touch. Seems a bit like a modern interpitation of trials rifle mods.

    I like the thought that went into the nose band and caps.

    Ouch, do people hear the word enfield and start twitching and reaching for the hack saw immediately, jeepers. I almost never see other firearms violated quite the same way the ol smle is.

    At least the Kiwi in question put a bit of thought into the mods. In the U.S. a hacksaw and a few beers seem to be all that is required.

    All too true, and the scrap pile isn't a bad place to start to create a vision and there plenty of le parts around, it just seems funny that le seems often the main receiver of bubbas crude attentions, rather than say a mauser or 91/30, it must be a republic allergic reaction to the royalty in the uk system, lol, a component of the Enfield steel alloys.

    True in general but a coworker brought in a 91/30 "modern sinper" kind of thing last week. I was quite ill when I saw the SA marks. The value of Finnishicon captures went up a notch. I would have Given him a Russianicon or two to have saved the Finn.
