    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 ...

    A few years back, he purchased it to replace the 25/303 barrel. I think they were going for 99 bucks each then. Sure the guys at Lawrence will know the barrels and their origin. I remember seeing the ad for them and they weren't the Paki or Indian made ones, as you can see by the quality. I do recall Ligthgow producing a large quanity of No4 barrels in 7.62, that would explain no markings on the barrel maybe.
    My mate did mention that it came wrapped in the orginal paper, but can't remember the info on it. At least it is some sort of lead.

    It is marked with a Lithgowicon code AY or AX, I forget, and it has a Lithgow proof. No question it's a Lithgow.
