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.

1903 barrels with sights are getting scarce and more important, good ones are getting expensive.

Paul, if you're not fussy as to date, I have a nice 1918. It has the front sight and rear sight base on it (I can supply a rear sight, if you want). If interested, PM or email me.

This is nothing more than curiosity but, what month is your 1918 (SA?) bbl, Rick?

**Rick the Librarian** · 10-08-2011 07:58 AM

4-18 with an A underneath the date.

Thanks, Rick. Not to hijack the thread... I've observed (via Vi Shooter's serialization chart & elsewhere) that some dates are found much less frequently than others. i.e. In the final year of the Great War, when production would seem to be steady, SA 5-18 barrels (incl SA 5-18 A) don't appear to have survived in significant numbers when all other months from that year did.

What leads you to believe your barrel is "shot out"?
