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.

Thanks, I was starting to think from the lack of comments and feedback that people are not interested in nice examples of unique old Military rifles.

I'd like it even if it wasn't so nice. Not many photos of Dutch rifles around. Thanks.

Owengun, Your rifle is in unissued fantastic condition. I have examined many of these over the years and have never seen one so nice. It makes you wonder how it could have survived in such great shape? Salt Flat

Thank you, I have also seen many before and none anywhere as nice as this one, it came out of a old timers collection who has moved on, I never got the story behind were it came from, it looks like it was hidden away for a very long time or from a closed museum collection.

The bore is also still like new, I also have some clips and ammo with it.

Now that is a rifle you don't see everyday, if I saw one before I didn't know what it was. Very nice, is it difficult to find ammo for it? It is almost to nice to shoot though.

Ammo is easy to make up from .303 British icon

cases and it shoots just like a M96 Swedish icon

Mauser.

Beautiful timber as well. Museum quality example of an unusual rifle. Do not see that often in the wild.
