    Just since I noticed it as of now .. scope mount looks to be a civilean one, not the military mount (note the Redfield-markings).

    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 ...

    Many original military '03A4 scope bases are marked Redfield just behind the right side windage screw. It's right as rain.

    That's a nice diagram. I have two '03A4 rifles; one with a WWII type one base and late issue Weaver M73B1 and the other with a type two and M82 scope. I have one spare type two base with rings.

    I have four M1903A4 rifles, all with the Type I and Type II bases. Three carry the M73B1 scope, one the M84 scope. Still have four M73B1 scopes complete with rings and bases waiting for rifles around, plus an additional 330C scope. Wish I had a M82 aswell, to put it on one of my rifles (.. and a M81 - that would make a cool set of four different optics on M1903A4 rifles!). Congratulations to your rifle!

    Back to the point of the thread I would buy said rifle as a 100% 1903A4, with character!
    Which I do appreciate as opposed to some folks!

    On a good day I would hope I could get it for 1,800 - 2,000, but if its out in the real world it will probably go higher in a bidding situation!

    If it were on auction at CMPicon, I would expect it to top 3,500.

    So as to its value, it all depends!!!

    It's the real deal in MHO....

    Cheers
