    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).

    Moving on...

    ... to 50 meters. In "brass monkey" temperatures.

    The shots at 25 meters had made clean holes. But note that the same load at 50 meters showed that the bullet was tipping slightly. So the powder charge was increased by 2 grains - and the result was a 10X. At this point one should stop shooting and retire to the clubhouse. However, scientific load development requires more than one lucky shot, so I fired off 3 more. My fingers were now numb (I had zeroed a scope on another rifle before using the Pickelgewehr) so I called it a day.

    Not quite there yet - my personal quality threshold is to have all shots within the 8 ring before wasting time and risking the target frame at 100 meters.
