    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 ...

    Can you imagine the weight of that puppy? It is my understanding they don't function all that well.

    Now I see the reason for the over folding butt stock.

    Soviet magazines

    Bill, It still would be neat to have one of those helical magazines, sooner or later, a few will surface (kind of like the PSM pistol)

    There is still a good choice with the Sovieticon box magazines tooAttachment 60630

    I agree Robert. One day they will show up or be reproduced like the Romanian drum magazines.

    Calico sure had that interesting magazine design. They came and went pretty quick. Seemed more of a fad than anything. They are still in business up here in Cornelius. I remember back the early 80s they were on 19th Street in Bakersfield, CA. The building they worked out of was very nondescript in it's appearance. Very few people even knew they made guns there. They really took off when their gun was used in a movie, can't remember which one it was, although they were used in Spaceballs.
