    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.

    RBruce,

    BIG Thanks!

    Now I understand how the rear sight is installed.

    Would you happen to know the height of the front sight?

    Thanks,

    cii,

    Thanks. Didn't realize they were that short. For some reason I always felt that the USMC sights were as high or higher than the "A" = 0.537 sight.

    Marine front sight hoods

    A while back Sarco (or was it Gun Parts?) had them listed for $75.00 ea. Supposed to be originals.
