    It does look sort of like it came from Planet of the Apes. I wonder how he did it, moved the trigger forward like that. There is some displayed cleverness in the conversion.

    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 ...

    The scope mounts are tall enough that you would need to allow for the curvature of the earth.
    As previously mentioned, some cleverness displayed but otherwise it's ruined a carbine

    It does look a little like the "Ape rifles" they made using M1icon carbines, but they were intended to look crude


    When I see these kind of bubba works I always think of the time and effort it took to mess up a classic firearm so much.

    I saw an M1icon carbine with scope rings welded on once at a gun show!
