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.

They looked good when they were new, I still preferred the brass though.

They work fine but will crack/break with rough use. The brass buttplates were pretty much indestructible.

If it is a British icon

WWII manufacturer's code, M.16 was Bullers Ltd.,Tipton, Staff.

Mind you that's only a few dozen....

My other 1945 dated BSA 'T' has a split front sight block.

My Brit 'T's are pretty evenly split between brass and zinc butt plates.

My Long Branch 'T's are split between steel and zinc.

Any idea who or what "M/16" was?

It's not "Bullers Ltd." as the forend is "Fazakerly 1956" (F56) dated.

M over 16 is marked on it, I believe it is the fitter who restocked the rifle during it's service life.
