    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.

    Just to confirm, this is one of the Unertls that have the adjustment for windage and elevation in the rings, external to the scope, right?

    Yes correct. This is an 8 power sn1114 scope that is externally adjustable.

    Have you tried disassembling it? Usually it's something spring held and maybe it just caught some dirt in it.

    In case you're going to sell it - let me know. I assume it's one of the USMC Sniper marked scopes, right?

    Its not a usmc, at least not confirmed. In fact, seaforth (member) has posted it before and got the same response. He actually would like to sell it and if it can be fixed I will take it but.... needs to be fixed first or its just an 8x spotting scope.

    There is a yahoo Unertl group. There are guys on there that repair these scopes and have spare parts. I would join that yahoo group and ask this question. You will get your answer pretty quick.

    Good luck.
