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.

The other stuff he's got for sale looks real. I'm not an expert on flip sights, but even though it's from CA, my guess is that it's the real deal. - Bob

This IBM sight is a tough call. Some long-time collectors
disagree on this one. Based on pictures alone - I would
say there is more right with it than wrong. Just looking
at the pictures I would say it is original. Purchasing it is
another thing. I would want to see it up close. I'll pass
on this one. Respectfully

I can't explain why but something just did not look right about it. I wanted it for my recent IBM purchase................

.............Oh well............Hopefully I will find another one.

Well, I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought it...for better or worse. I could have gotten one for only $135 at Riverbank..lol

And to think LE you could have gotten a brand spanking new one straight from China for only $135. At least you know the one you did get is real and not an import.
