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.

Notice the 2nd guy with the 03. Maybe used for grenade launching, Ray

Prob'ly . Because of the shadow I can't make out the boot or lack thereof . M15 ring , if there , would be on the other side . It is an 03 and not a A3.

I may be wrong, but thought they used the leaf sight on the 1903 & 1903A1 and not the M15 ring, but you would need the M15 on the 1903A3

Are the two guys 6 and 7 back from the foreground in the range photo shooting '03s?

Correct , I was saying a M15 ring would be " proof " of grenade launching use . 1943 would be a little early to see it anyway .
