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.

Nice, I like it. It dates to about 2-44. Looks like a typical arsenal rebuild. Beautiful NPM walnut stock even though it has the usual nicks and dings. Is that a recent accusation?

thank you for your answer...I think like you that this is an arsenal rebuild , but I'm not an Carbine expert.
Are there improper parts for 1944?

**Bruce McAskill** · 07-04-2014 10:10 AM

It dates to about December 1943. It has been rebuilt. The stock is from a NPM and the rear sight and barrel band were changed during the rebuild as were the safety and magazine catch.

**donki1967** · 07-04-2014 11:18 AM

Then a completely rebuilt carbine...Could these be an arsenal rework?

**Bruce McAskill** · 07-04-2014 09:35 PM

Odds are it is. The stock could have been changed after it was rebuilt.

I'd say if you were here in Texas that is a little high. You could find a rifle like that for around $700 here, but I have no idea how that translates. A nice one though. I don't see many IBM's up for sale.

My favorite 'shooter' was a rebuilt IBM. It looks a lot like yours. It's really difficult to price by the photos alone but I agree with the above on price here in the United State of Texas!

Does the slide feel tight or does it feel "sloppy" or rattle if you just shake the rifle. I'd also have the bore measured. Maybe the seller has a bore gauge and can do it for you (?)

Good Luck!

Here is my old rebuilt IBM - It has all the arsenal upgrades. It was tight and accurate.
