    There are a couple on used guns.com

    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 won't be buying even a cheap no32 and will have to make do with a weaver k2.5 as I already have it. Still, it's all learning.
    In the even I can't get a proper DAP, is there another way to use something closer?

    just guessing here but use a smaller one closer if you can't find one at 500. better still wait till you go to range next time, set up your DAP and lie down on the mound with your little vee block and scope and charge a dollar to eah person who comes up for a look at what your doing!! be a milloinaire overnight without winning lotto!!!

    cheers

    Lol, I like the charging idea. I can go about 20m here and not a lot more. Haven't been to the range for a long time so maybe it's time. I'll have to reload some 303 and take the no1 HB out for a spin.

    On hold at the moment Ned, I've got to much on and the apprentice, (unpaid son) is off on a fishing/boozing? junket up the top end.
    I will say though, he has a few good calculations and sketches, but has effectively tied up a length of steel that I can't use for anything else.
    Patience is a virtue, if it takes to long, I will leave a note for him to have it chromed and placed with the flowers on your pine box.
    Cheers.

    One cutting board sacrificed to the Collaminating God. It's not as straight forward as I would have thought as you have to decipher what the scope is doing when you rotate it... anyway, all done. Next is to get hold of a drill press.... I have got my Milsurps mojo back and want to do this baby.
