    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.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Their heights are marked alphabetically, with the highest being an 'A', and I don't know how far down they go to. ('E', 'F'.... ?)

    I was going through my parts yesterday and saw a new 'C' blade and pin still in the wrapper. You can have it to get you running if you want it. Just send me a PM with an address and I'll mail it out.

    A size "C" is common. You might try - Bill Ricca's Home Page Contact him.

    Some others might have more ideas. Welcome to the forum!

    Make sure you get the GI pin with the blade. Those tiny pins are tough to find.

    I was wondering what happened to the original sight. This isn't a restored drill rifle is it?
