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.

thanks Mike

Those should sell. Good for even a wall hanger, as long as they don't try to use them for shooters. Not great for that. Maybe with work...

That should do all right...you've started it right. (I think...)

I believe they were plastic of some sort.

My all-time "favorite" eBay listing was someone trying to sell these stocks as a "rare USMC amphibious stock" developed to prevent the water damage and breakage from landing on enemy beaches. I had to give the guy an "A+" in the Science Fiction category!

wow Rich should i change my ad on gunbroke to that information

US Navy used them in ROTC. A soft plastic. Not for firing!
