    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 ...

    Are they all standard cartridges, or are some wildcats. Something like a .22 LR would help to compare relative size.

    These cartridges are all from the same factory that also manufactured the rifles that chambered them. Many were also manufactured by Western and have that headstamp. All are center fire

    That's a good set of hints. Newton - .22, .256, .30, .33, .35, and .40.

    Your correct - the Newton family, some really advanced cartridges for their time period. You seldom find anything posted about the early Newton rifles especially the first production with the peep sight on the bolt
