    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.

    I think that's a bit much for a refinished carbine Frank. I don't care who done it.

    I think so too, Jim. I've seen DGR list M1icon's like this, but they end up selling. The list of parts and the different Wood and DGR's Parkerizing doesn't meet the Price. I think that 90 day plan is how they move them, but I don't see Collectors buying these.

    SG and Std Prod have type three bands and type three adj sights. New low wood stocks.

    They mention parts markings on the NPM. But don't mention the marking on the leaf sight that they replaced. Just that the dovetail wasn't staked.

    There is something for everyone out there.

    It is like anything we buy supply and demand and a persons desire to own it, also deep pockets....

    There is always a buyer for this work. Some people highly value guns that are spiffed up like this. I would think that this work would be more valuable than a Sam-T-Bob put together simply because you know exactly what you are getting.

    I agree on that part Dave, for sure. Just don't think I'd pay a premium for a definite re finish.

    He did make a mistake on listing of the NPM parts. The Front Sight is Marked SN not RN. The RN is the Rear Sight. The NPM has a few aftermarket parts. In that Range shouldn't it have the Type 2 BB instead of the Type 1 ? To me it looks like George made a few dollars.

    From the pictures, and I blew them up, I can't tell what is on the leaf. I see a round s left side base. Right side base doesn't get a close enough view. The leaf is marked but it's such a poor angle I can't see what.
