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.

Kerwin--
Thank you for that link. I've been looking for a carbide sight blacker since Champion's Choice stopped carrying them.

They did?? They had plenty of them at CP last year!

John--

I couldn't find them in the CC online catalog...

Ordered one from the link above.

Camp Perry is a bit of a drive from down here on the gulf Coast. I made it once, though, but it's been a few years...

Consider yourself lucky that you couldn't find one of those POS Gunsmokers when you were in the mood to urinate your money away on one

You'll be much happier with a SuperSmoker

Maury--

I had a Gunsmoker before i had a house fire. Slowly but surely I'm re-equipping myself. I wasn't really happy with the Gunsmoker, but I still liked it better than a spray can.

I'm hoping this new thing will be better.
