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.

The stuff actually works miracles on dry cracked hands as an added benifit.

I wonder if udder balm would work on leather. I don't have any handy now to check the contents but it too does wonders for dry, cracked hands. Just a thought, any ranchers out there want to weigh in?

of course i guess i just missed out

Yep. I would hit that with the liquid Obenauf's until it wouldn't take any more. After some time, maybe months, I would probably work on restoring the original appearance of the damaged leather.

You know, I think im going to chunk it or give it away, i bet 2 or 300 dollars i can find a nicer one, im sure somebody would take it. I've been looking around the web and there are some nice ones for about that price. I might as well. I dont really need one but since it has that T3 Bayonet Lug, i would like to get one just to have. Thanks
