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.

Wow, that's orange. Is that the flash or does it really look like that? I'm not sure but I don't think that's the original finish. Most I've seen are brown but I really don't know all that much about them. The Swedish icon

versions often look like that so maybe they used the same finish and the brown ones are just old.

Looks to be in great shape.

Does it kick at all?

It is indeed the flash. Tried to tone it down, wasn't gonna happen. It's much more subdued in person. Hardly any recoil at all, due to the DGI and weight. Very glad I happened on this one. It definitely turns heads at the range!

Yup, you don't want to shoot them under a covered firing point.

**Anzac15** · 03-27-2014 11:35 PM

Made the mistake of taking it to an indoor range the other day. Hoooo boy!

**browningautorifle** · 03-28-2014 10:56 AM

Sure light up the firing point doesn't it. Lifts the dust off the overhead beams and checks everyone's hearing protection...

I didn't think it was all that load...nor any loader than anything I was shooting.
