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.

I would say as it stands no. The serial number comes back to June of 43. The barrel July of 43. As mentioned before, if for some reason the recever was held back it could be original. If, if, if???

It is not that life has no answers. It is that life has too many answers!

its a CMP

service grade, so if its not an original barrel, maybe it was rebarreled after a battle during ww2! (I have a good imagination!) Thanks Mr. Hollinger.

Yes, it's fine. It's exactly at the projected July SA production.

Looks like the receiver is July 1943, so it could be the original barrel

My mistake. End serial number for the month. Sorry for the misinformation Garandfan.
