    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 scabbard, if real, is worth 10 times that or more! The magazines too. Great score!

    Better not give out too much info. Next time you will have to compete with the flock of guys who read your post.

    When you say scabbard, do you mean the leather vehicle scabbard or the canvas hip holster? Either way, what a bargain.

    Still for $20 unless it was marked on, torn, or damaged, you got a great buy. Some makers and years are harder to find. Shane MFG being the ones I see most often.
