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.

wow very nice looking firearms

Thanks, been looking for Winchester for awhile and landed on nice older model with flip sights and push safety.

Nice M1

's, if the V is in Several Places on a Winchester this could Possibly mean The Type as in 5 but just a thought. I read a post from another forum about this V on Winchester M1 Carbines, but I could be wrong. Happy Shooting

Nice carbine: the rear site doesn't look right to me. Looks lke their is a gap in the dovetail notch. GK

**deldriver** · 11-18-2014 08:56 AM

The "V" is most likely an inspector's mark. I don't think it's an indication of what stock version it is. I have a small handful of Winchester carbine stocks that are marked there. And yes, the rear sight looks "out of place" in a way. I thought that yesterday when I first looked at this thread. It is a nice Winchester in a lot of ways though.

Thank you for your help other side of rear sight.

Looks like a hammer was used to remove and install the rear site! GK

I have a Win about 3000 pieces ahead of yours. Mine has the type 3 rear sight but they were a mix of flips and adj at this time. The sear bothers me a bit because by this time, Winchester was polishing the end that engages the trigger in an effort to get trigger pull down. Mine is very shiny at that end. Nice looking gun.

I like the triplets picture at the end. Though the pilots knife made me laugh. What is the date on the pommel?
