    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. Brian Dick ...

    I think this rifle was discussed in full on Gunboards. The rifle is a 1942 Remington M1903 that was customized sometime after it's military service by a former civilian owner. There is absolutely no chance it is a Style T, NRA Sporter or has any other connection with the DCM. (Except the small possibility it was sold as military surplus through the DCM sometime between 1948 and @ 1960).

    I place the worth in the $250-300 range. As I recall in the Gunboards thread, the rifle was sold by the original owner as a "National Match", either through ignorance or guile.

    Here's a link to the discussion on Gunboards about this rifle:

    Thanks, Rick.
    I saw it on the original forum post, to which there were no replies.
    It's a jungle out there.
