    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 ...

    There's a forum for intros...that's why you feel like you're standing out in a field alone right now. I'm sure mods will move you over shortly. So, since I'm the only one here, I better say welcome and show us your pictures...(of your milsurps)Like this...
    Regards, Jim

    Talking

    AZphil: You have diagnosed the compulsion to get more and more milsurps and researching them continuously very accurately....addiction! After firing my first M96 I was hooked on the high quality and wonderful accuracy of an old rifle and have not only added 18 more Krags, Swedishicon Mausers, Germanicon Mausers and Carcanos but cleansed the cabinets of inferior and much newer firearms, save for some CZs and favorite Rugers. The search for parts, sights and ammunition all add to the fun of restoring or improving the sporterized versions and finally hunting and target shooting with century old rifles.....yes....addiction masked as a great hobby!
