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.

It's the bayonet mount and front brace for a Remington military shotgun. There were two types, one with a bead only and this one with a Remington sight. They're worth good money, almost unavailable.

Yes sir. It's part of a Remington 870 Mk1 bayonet adapter. You will need a magazine extension to make it work.

Maybe.... The adapter came on a 21" rifle sight 'S' dated barrel, which I assume is the barrel the adapter was on originally. A buddy bought it for $13 at a yard sale and gave it to me since he knew I was into old shotguns. I didn't know what it was either, but did some research and found out what it was, and what it's worth. Yes, I told my buddy and will compensate him fairly. Now I'm gathering the rest of the parts to build a Mk1 clone, and I do need a mag extender, vintage with some patina.

Like was noted earlier, the bayo adapter and plain fore end are the tough pieces. I started to put it together piecemeal, but it looks like it will be cheaper to buy a donor gun.

This $13 gift is going to cost me some coin.... Heck, two weeks ago I didn't even know the
USMC used 870s....

Did these come parked originally, and what finish is correct for the trigger assembly and bolt?

**browningautorifle** · 08-06-2015 11:34 PM

There's a demonstrator gun around here somewhere...if you look back in these posts. I think I can find a couple pics...

You can see both guns are parked, the only bolt pic is bright. There are the two variations here...

**Cofaler** · 08-11-2015 10:57 PM

Thanks for the pics. I'm having a hard time locating a plain fore end and the rear sight leaf. Numrich lists an 'old style' rear sight with no picture, the rear leaf without the eye piece, and the elevation ramp. I thought about taking a chance and ordering the sight in hopes it's the right one.

I'll bet if you place a WTB here, these guys will have it. They even know what you're talking about, which helps.
