    Getting there, but I still think this is the absolute most hideous Enfield I've ever seen, Bubba'd or otherwise.

    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 ...

    That would be unpleasant to shoot, the recoil would be excessive for certain.

    As long as we're talking about unpleasant Enfields, surely this one takes the cake:

    Oh wow, I didn't know they made Suncorite in those lovely colors! Is it called "Day Care Camo"?

    Wow! Fluorescent Pink and Electric Blue! Those colours must give this rifle exceptional accuracy at 300 yards. Just imagine what a bullet must feel like as a flits down the barrel to it's target like Tiny Tim tip-toeing through the Tulips.

    All this rifle needs to be finished is a Naked Goddess hood ornament with laser beams straddling the front sight, some B-17 Pinup Nose Art painted on the stock, a long cluster of Cubic Zirconium Gemstone Studs mounted along the fore-end, a Chrome Receiver, tassles on the trigger guard, and then we'd have a real, state-of-the-art, highly collectable, masterpiece. Can't wait to see this futuristic revival on GunBroker as the bidding climbs above Sniper Value.

    OMG, let me pull out one of my Jungle Carbines and see if I can replicate this idea on a No.5! After that, perhaps an Ishapore .410 musket -- got to have a shot gun in this configuration too.

    Bubba Will Live Forever!!! God Save the Queen!!!

    P.S. If we can create such masterpieces on our Enfields, why not on Garands and Winchesters, and Mausers -- the possibilities are endless! Let's get started mates -- join the crowd and transform the universe!

    Don't know bout accuracy but it would certainly be visible to at least 300 yards.

    Sounds like a hippie's description of a bad acid trip.

    We coined the phrase about 1982-4, I guess, about when the aftermarket craze for folding stocks, flash hiders, high capacity magazines, etc. really got going for such things as Ruger 10/22s and Mini 14s. Don't think the word "tactical" had been adopted yet for such silliness.
