    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 ...

    Late to the party but hope that another data point might be useful.

    SN 94L66xx, '50 barrel, action and barrel are blued. Striker looks painted (Suncorite?).

    I just picked up one yesterday. 92L 6189. All blued. Has "Alpha, can't recognize city, Ohio " importer stamp that is stamped to left of C Long Branch Mk1star on receiver. It is in like new condition and has all of the CA inspection marks I have seen on this site. However, what is strange is it has a Savage front barrel band, with the capital S on the left side. Wonder how that came on this rifle? Bluing on band is matching for age and wear, so I am assuming the band came with the rifle or has been there a long time. I am a brand new member as of last night. Collected mil slurps for fifty years.

    Mebailj, Your rifle was imported for Southern Ohio Guns in Lebanon, Ohio the late '80's, early 90's. All of the remaining parts from WWII Savage/Stevens production were sent to Long Branch when the contract was completed in 1944. Savage parts are common on 1945-1950 production rifles from LB/CAL. My advice is leave it be as factory original. Brian

    Thanks Brian. I will certainly leave it as it is. I had a feeling leftover parts were sent to Long Branch. Thanks for the advice/info .

    I just bought this one- Serial 93L8779

    1950 receiver date, definitely parkerized receiver, bolt, striker, and barrel.

    Barrel date is also 1950.

    Interesting, quite visible are mixed blued parts and assemblies, like the blued Mk 3 sight assembly, and safety.
