    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    2 different rifles

    Sorry for any confusion..there are 2 different RA Red Star M1903's here. One was cleaned in the 1950's..other with GG is how I got it, and how it still is!

    That's what you get for carrying a greasy rifle through the weeds!!

    To bad the one was "cleaned", but never the less, beautiful rifles!

    I know you are proud, and you know I am jealous!
