    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 ...

    Why would an 8/30 dated barrel have a non-fluted, WWII-era FRSB?

    Both the barrel and receiver markings appear pantagraphed.

    Hey J.B.,

    Someone turned a low numbered receiver into a high numbered one?

    The serial number is sharp, the rest looks like it was sandblasted near to oblivion. The "8" looks odd.

    The stock bolts/screws are not correct? Figure it has to be some small detail.

    J.B., you should make this a regular thing, fun.

    The fixed base does not have lightening cuts possibly indicating a WWII rebuild, but no punch mark on ledge.

    The stock bolts/screws are set in too deep on the left and are off center on the right of the stock.
