    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 ...

    Charlie,

    "War Baby" page 386 says it did. Only says early production, no serial number range.

    Jim,
    Thx for doing the leg work for me.
    Trying to answer to a friend, but worn out from working swing shifts.
    "Can we move in before Christmas?"
    I would have thought Type II. Seen Riesch said early / limited use of TI by QHMC, just wasn't sure.
    I've E-mailed for the serial range. Now not sure if it will help.
    I sure miss BQ and Newscotlander.......

    Thx Again Buddy,

    Charlie-Painter777

    Charlie, Looked thru some Carbine Club newsletters. Back in 1982 it was listed as " a possible", but a 2006 listing stated that none had ever been reported from all info submitted. John

    Charlie,

    Here's one in the first 8000 range with an unmarked type 2 that I believe is original to the carbine. Before anyone ask, the round punch mark is correct for staking the rear early script QHMC flip sight. Best regards.
