I have the above and correct in all numbers. Just noticed EFD in very small letters. What do they stand for? I should know.

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.

EFD = Enfield (As in RSAF Enfield factory)

The rifle is a BSA made rifle but the prescence of an EFD just means the part marked was made at Enfield. During the 20's and 30's, Enfield did lots of refurbishments on No.1's

Nah, never feel bad about learning something new about Lee Enfields. If you"re the slightest like me, you'd spend all your life with your cephalon in your... coccyx...
