    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 ...

    Thanks I'm about to order the Mark 1 sight from someone here. I was using the Mark II (pressed sights). I'll try holding the hand forward like I do off a bench under the rest and see how it goes. IN the meantime I'm pretty happy with the results as the sights were down and I had the big battle sights on. The advice surely will help with the 500-600 yards area. I will look for a set of PH no.8/53. to put on my sights.

    Bear in mind that fitting the 8/53 will certainly gain you windage adjustment, but at the cost of some elevation adjustment on the Mk 1 sight.

    You might find that you need to change the height of your foresight blade when using the 8/53.

    The reason that the 300 and 600 do not match is because when shooting at 300, the bayonet should be fixed.

    I shall be out poo-picking (Is that term used in the US?) the rocking horse manure later today. It will be tough finding any though - just like 8/53s.
