    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 ...

    Certainly stamped correctly and looks right with the original adjustment tool in the lid too, no worries IMHO.

    Originally they were ALL threaded in both pillars. But due to slight discrepancies and some brackets not fitting there was a misc instruction (EMER Inst and SL's V-something or other as I recall) that only the rear pillar should be threaded. This was because if you left only the front pillar threaded, it would bring the scope rearwards a tad - where the eye cap would foul the end of the case.
