    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.

    The M1903A1 was adopted in 1929 and it was basically a "regular" M1903 with a Type C (or later Scant) stock, whether "new built" or overhauled. Some service M1903A1s were built in 1935 and afterwards. The Type C stock was also used on nearly all National Match rifles after about 1928.

    Those selling rifles will often describe almost any later M1903 as a "1903A1" when they weren't. The Remington M1903, for example, wasn't a A1, although some sellers describe it as such. The Remington was produced as manufactured with a straight stock, not a Type C.
