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.

Got any pics Kab? We'd also love to see this one...it might help too.

Glad to see you, Jim. Will try. Things hectic here for holidays. Horns really darkened with age.

Good to see you again too Kab...this horn could be really interesting, we'll need pics when it's possible though.

Jim,

Best I can do at present.[ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 77769[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

thanks, Kab

Well, I got three out of that. Looks good, the big one would be the "storage" type I think. Then doled out to the smaller ones. There's a bit of conjecture attached to that but still. Now they shall come...you'll get a better answer shortly. Looks very nice. What's the measurements on this one Kab?

**kablair** · 11-25-2016 08:39 AM

Sorry about pictures, best I could do. Large horn about 17+inches.

Sounds like the big horn used to fill smaller ones...

Jim, as always, thanks for the help and support.

Still a nice piece Kab, I'm surprised a few more haven't drifted by to look.
