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 like an Aim point single point scope.

**Gil Boyd** · 11-22-2013 01:49 PM

To my knowledge we never had a 32 scope modified to fit the top cover of the SLR at any time in PARA Reg in the 70's for what its worth

**Peter Laidler** · 11-22-2013 04:06 PM

I certainly never ever saw one. The trajectory of the bullet woulldn't match the trajectory of the telescope either. Not the L1A1 and definately not the No32......... But after last nights programme, you can see why the wary and wise NEVER name names and prefer photos with pixellated faces. Cameras on ops = bad news

I don't think Aimpoint and Singlepoint were in cahoots. Singlepoint was British icon

made, Aimpoint Swedish icon

. I still have one of Aimpoint's old externally adjustable MkI scopes!

Armson OEG, which may still be in business, did something almost identical to the Singlepoint. I've got a Jane's Infantry Weapons from that time period with a large advertisement for one or both.

Peter,
Agreed, and I pay a licence fee for that programme to be made and for them to fly to Australia icon

on my money to hound blokes down, what a country we have become

Apologies.................. didn't mean to go off the theme of the thread, but I think the telescope in the first image and in the NI one is the telescopic sight a 3.6X A.B.L model 2112F by O.I.P personally fitted item by the person in the photo who is no longer with us or I would ask him to confirm, remember it being zero'd at Ballykinler

Meant to say also his eye relief through the sight that far forward would have been a real struggle too!

Regarding pic in post #31 by Skiprat, anyone notice the forward pistol grip also ?
