    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.

    Forgot to mention it came with a mint type 2 sling and a USGI oiler but I can't make out the mark on it, 4 boxes of remington 30-30 ammo and 4 simulator booby traps

    Really a beautiful example

    of a very rare carbine. My NPM has a KR hammer but it isn't a dogleg. Underwood sent a few thousand hammers to Rockola but not until 1944. Thanks for letting us see this gem.

    The oiler has *****BROS***** written on it very faintly, it's kind of worn away so my guess it's post war. It has a rubber gasket inside. I have yet to go through all the ammo and mags, but the ammo appears to be reloads to me (just the stuff in the ammo boxes), about 500 rds are new in the box stuff

    Is that a IMPORT STAMP I see????


    Kidding.

    Your good to go on that Butt plate.
    RMC used that style from mid-late production IIRC.

    I believe that would be the type 1B receiver, having just the one rectangular slide notch and 2 upper/ side notches

    Cheers,
