    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 ...

    Was "cleaning house" most all day in the photo closet, it wasn't too tough! Here's the cobble:





    If anything, the FAL bbl is lighter. As stated, the body taper is wrong for reaming out to '06. I still don't know if conversion to 7.62x51 is feasable. It would be weird though!

    Maybe a lightened FAL heavy barrel could be made to work- I've no idea....

    ETA: BTW, that's an L1a1 bbl.

    Why wouldn't it work? The conversion was done with M1s and initially there was just a spacer. I had one that worked perfectly. This should too! Then you could have a Johnson that has a flash eliminator of the slotted tube type and an F.N. bayonet too.
