    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.

    Hi Peter what of the old Serial No. OS 2939 A that has been struck out, seller says it was up graded to an L1A1 so does this refer to it being re-calibrated to the 7.62 ballistics.
    Thanks Peter.

    That isn't the serial number. It is the old V5-OS VAOS/Ordnance stock number for a No32 Mk3 scope. When it changed to a Tel Strt Stg, the Ordnance classification changed so the old stock number was barred out

    Earlier in the week, I told a member of this forum that I thought this would sell in the $2500 to $3000 range. It is at $2,550 with a little under 8 hours remaining.

    Rifle No N36863 was part of batch 29 which consisted of 20 weapons and has a recorded conversion date of 4th October 1971, out to store at Donnington.

    Cheers,

    It begs the question, where is N36863? Regardless of that price, they are still out there cheap. I rebuilt a Mk1 to like new not 3 weeks ago form a bit of a heap. Optics dire and missing the front shade and OG lens plus segment. All it really needed was a suitable 42 for the lenses but a No53 was provided and used successfully. Total cost was, I believe £440 including my paltry repair cost.

    But add another GBP £300 for the brackets, and maybe £400 for the tin and you are back up at £1600 (or US$ 2500)
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
