    Sorry Badger but sometimes it is so frustrating when one has a passion to be a custodian of a piece of history and the relentless pursuit of those that do not understand the passion by inept thought waves, laws and printed articles. And yes the T's have that magical word "Sniper" even makes a deac expensive sheeesh!!!!!!!

    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 ...

    You should have haggled Roger. With the charm on max you might have beaten them down to £3600.

    Roger, did you see the chap in the first hall at Stoneleigh with an abundance of commercial scout telescopes for about £100 a piece?

    I've seen this rifle floating about various arms fairs before. Handled it and thought "oooookay..."





    Paul.
