    Quantrill, The N^Z mark merely means that the rifle was in New Zealandicon Service, they didn't manufacture any of the Enfields.

    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 ...

    So does that mean part of the rifle was made in NZ and part was made in Canadaicon? Or does NZ mean it was issued to someone in New Zealandicon?

    NZ accepted a large contract on LB 4's mid ww2. When they were sold off in the 70's a perfectly new one could be had for $20. Invariably they have really nice dark wood, and are a nice looking rifle.
