Sheesh, this thread is not helping my Long Branch fetish. Nice looking 1941 Long Branches. Wish I had one again - I think I have a spare kidney to sell

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.

I'm not near my books, but IIRC Savage only made about 1200 in 1941. I believe another poster here has number 1 and I've got number 769. Both were converted to T's by H&H but never scoped. I don't think mine was ever issued.

Personal experience leads me to believe that Savage made considerably more than 1200 Mk 1s in 1941. Have seen many more Savage made Mk. 1 than Long Branch made Mk. 1s. Have 2 of each.
Also, have seen and actually fondled Savage serial number 1.
