    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 outer nut - the lead screw locking nut - should just nip-up the brass inner screw - the lead screw -. That way, while you're zeroing in at, say, 300 yards with the range drum at 3, you can just tweak the lead screw to zero the rifle.

    Always remembering
    TREAT THE GRAT AS A FORESIGHT and:
    C=D&R or turning the leadscrew moves the graticle Down and Right and :
    ALWAYS MOVE THE FORESIGHT INTO THE ERROR. So that if you're going HIGH, raise the foresight (or grat) and so on.

    The tools were like mickey mouse watches Beery.................. They LOOK good but ain't much use when it comes to telling the time. That's only based on my very limited experience as a snipers Armourer

    Its a Stevens-Savage No.4 Ml1*, made in 1942, that has been in South African service.

    It is in the kind of condition that I have come to expect of SA rifles - excellent.

    Mate, that is one fine looking rifle. I would love to have that in my collection.

    Nice work!

    I still have to come across a Lee-Enfield rifle in South Africa that is not in an excellent condition. These rifles have a very soft spot in many SA rifle collectors and gun owners.
