    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).

    Well, every picture of some guy potting shots at the troops is called a sniper. To me a sniper is shootin' little and a guy goes down every time. Showing a nose means you lose it. Meaning I doubt that this situation defines that meaning...

    The young guys talk about that now but their shooting positions now are a shambles. The face front position and elbows down are so uncomfortable and unnatural, I'm glad I'm not trying to correct failing shooters now.
