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.

looks good to me,show the MRT marking if you can

**sakorick** · 12-29-2012 05:22 PM

The MRT look OK but the date sucks. I thought I remember reading in a carbine newsletter or elsewhere that these were repro. There is a lot of repro stuff out there that looks pretty legit. Regards, Rick.

It looks like MRT 1962. Most I've seen stamped in ink are dated early 50's. - Bob

I looked through some quickly and found two in my extra box.

In other words, this is not a WWII sling? Right? Regards, Rick.

It probably IS a WWII sling. The MRT was a mold resistant treatment that was applied to the webbing.

**sakorick** · 12-30-2012 09:43 AM

On the back of the snap tab are the words UNITED CARR and I have never seen words on the tabs on a WWII sling. That said, I really haven't really done any research on slings either. Regards, Rick.
