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.

No problem thats "Shir-le" I know her well !!!!!

A 1918 manufactured Short Lee Enfield - model MkIII* (Mk3*)
The nomenclature was changed in 1926 and the SHTLe Mk3* became the "No1 Mk3*"

Here's a link that will help with official markings.

It's a site provided by Amatikulu with some good information to bookmark for the future.

I'm going with SSA.
Look to the left side of the receiver near where the cocking piece sits when the bolt is closed.
