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.

Anything later than 1965?

I have seen a couple of 66 dated ones lately at gunshows, but no later ones. So for now earliest one is 1956 and latest one is 1966.

I have 2 C1 bayonets, 1958 and a chromed 1963 one is in a 51 pattern frog the other in and 82 pattern frog. So nothing unusual.

At age 16 many moons ago I bought a 1907 Pattern bayonet Wilikinson made and Cdn proofed. (C with broad arrow) It cost $1.95! it is gone and I have no idea what happened to it.

For general interest, the numbers shown on your bayonet "150 3900" is a portion of the NATO stock number for this item. If you add the stock class 1005 (small arms and parts) and the old Cdn country identifier code (21) you will get 1005-21-150-3900, which is the number you would order to get a bayonet.

Some useless trivia for those who care about such things.
