    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. Brian Dick ...

    Those guys are always on the high side though. They'll let it sit until someone buys it.

    Can’t remember who, but either Liberty Tree Collectors or Empire Arms had one a couple months back for around $2,000 USD... Didn’t have the scope pads tho.

    Yes, it is a Trials #4T. I used to own it and sold it along with a large bunch of other guns to Marstar this summer. It has the pads but has been through a field refit or maybe FTR at some point in its existence, as one would expect for a rifle that age ( I believe all were issued) so is wearing a new bolt, new barrel if memory serves me and new stock/furniture. By new I do not mean brand new--it has been around the block. However, the receiver etc is a trials #4T. I had its serial number added to the list a couple of years ago.

    Here is a link to a dropbox folder of the photos I had taken of it. I had others as well with the wood off but can't find them at the moment. The cutoff if memory serves me is the incorrect type so was likely a later replacement for the original.

    I was looking through my photo files for some other gun photos and happened across the folder (mis-labeled ) of photos for this trials rifle. I have uploaded them to that Dropbox folder--they are quite extensive. The rifle has a scrubbed LB proofed bolt, and wears Fazakerly furniture. A trials rifle, but has as one would expect been around the block--it was a rough block called WWII.......
