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.

This will be the first time I've missed the April show in over ten years. Just to much going on here at home.

impressions having attended...

no4's are out the roof on price. one guy had a 1943 longbranch at the right price, $325. then he told me he had sanded and refinished the stock. i kept walking. every other no4 on the floor (yes, i could have missed one or two) was priced at $500+. if no4s are really worth what they sell for at gun shows now, some folks on this board are very rich.

i guess i was the only one chasing no1's. found (and bought) a 1940 Lithgow icon

, and a 1941 lithgow, all with good characteristics, including good bores; all priced less than what the no.4's were going for. also found a shtle I*** of the ER series. good metal, good bore, complete (but incorrect) stock.

conclusion -- the enfield milsurp market is constricting; decent specimens are difficult to find. prices are going up -- fast.

think i'll start collecting bayonets. don't tell anyone. maybe i'll have them all to myself.

Cowboy,

I went to the Clagary gunshow last weekend, (Canada icon

) and No 4's were on average in the $700.00 Canadian. (about same price as down there.) Bad thing was a lot of them had been sportered, and Just been given NOS or even Springfield Sporters DP fore-ends. Some of the fore-ends moved back and forth, so just chucked together anyhow. Buttstocks were the old ones mainly but front wood was often rough and unhandled looking.
Seems a bit of a beggar, if someone can take a $175.00 chopped Enfield, stick a new fore-end on it and price it at $700 plus.

Bayonets up here are already stupid prices..
