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.

Midmichigun, does yours have any Israeli acceptance marks? I have seen ones with the star of David but this one doesn't seem to have any.

I've never heard of an Isreali 98k with out proof marks.
Your rifle is either a Bulgarian or Rumanian rework. Is there a ser nr stamped verticaly along the butt plate on the left side of the stock?
The milled bands are right for a mid 43 dated rifle, but since it is a mismatched rework it doesn't really make any difference.

No there is no serials on the but/but plate. Bulgarian or Romanian eh? this thing just keeps going for potential former owners. haha

On a side note I took it to the range yesterday and this thing SHOOTS!

Looks like a Romainian capture and import
