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.

Ok what do I have ?

**phillydude** · 11-20-2013 05:00 PM

On left side of receiver it says No4MK1 ROF (F) 10/43 which looks engraved not stamped.
On the muzzle it's stamped 303"2.2" under that it's has something my ok eyes can't make out( maybe a proof mark) then ???TONS or TUNS

**phillydude** · 11-20-2013 05:21 PM

One more thing, the serial number is faint but legible. Is there a way to look up the number that can tell me more about it ?

A Number 4 Mark 1 rifle made at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Fazakerly in October of 1943. The marks near the muzzle are British icon

commercial proof. .303 caliber, 2.2" nominal cartridge case length and 18 tons p.s.i. pressure. The serial number won't give any clues to the rifle's history.
