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.

Very nice. You don't see many.

Nice one Tim. Glad to see you found one. Got it at auction or a local purchase? I was looking for the flaming bomb on the left side. I think there is something there but faint. My commando has a 4 digit serial and has the bomb. Have you seen the article on the web by Charles Pate on the commando? http://www.manatarmsbooks.com/pate.html

This one has no final inspection / acceptance marks - which was common for the late Commandos - according to Pate.

It completes my collection of Commandos / as I now have one with each of the three variations of martial markings (or lack there of) 2, w/ 4" barrels and the one Jr. pictured here ...

(unless of course there really is a 6" barrel version out there somewhere)

color me skeptical
