    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. Brian Dick ...

    Oatmeal: I have one of these sights and discovered I would have to cut the stock on my .22 Mk.lV to install(NOT). I don't think it would be be sturdy enough for a .303. There is only one attaching screw . See Skinnerton P. 211

    glycerin,

    I have a BSA that has been drilled and tapped. I have been thinking of adding a receiver mounted sight. I thought I could maybe find a way to mount a RossMk.III sight. I found photos the Cooey sight and it started me too thunk'in.

    They're really easy to mount, they're just held on by the ejector screw. As someone mentioned though, that was for .22 recoil, not .303. Might not work very long...

    I have seen the sights at $150 at one table at the gunshows, and gone a couple tables down and seen them for $20. If you have a Cdn marked no2mk4 trainer, then they really are a must have.
