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.

You need a Drill Rilfe? Lots around for cheap money.

Didn't know they were drill rifles.
Just called them and they did say they are drill rifle recoveries.

I have not seen any 03A3's at all for inexpensive.
I'm actually looking for something cheap to build into a sporter as I have a nice one that is staying original. Would one of the Sarco's be a good candidate for a sporter ?

Drill rifles are around at the big gunshows. Usually cheap. SARCO has a poor reputation and well known for Chinese parts. Expect Chinese parts, for sure.

Before diving into this project you you might want to price Remington, Savage and maybe
Ruger sporting rifles.
Using a military rifle was the only way to go from about 1930 to 1950. Since the mid 60's it became less cost effective and today is just sort of dumb.

Unless you are after a "project" as much as a rifle the Ruger American Rifle is outstanding and a great value.

**Hylander** · 10-21-2014 08:01 PM

Thanks for the replies,
Only new rifles I like are Savage, but the 03A3 has always been my favorite and one of my most accurate rifles.

The Savage rifles are not very pretty but they can cook. Very accurate in my experiance.

You can find an A3 that is already been sporterized. I have seen a lot of them and often they are pretty cheap.

I agree that most Savage rifles rock and are a great value.

There are a couple local for about $450, is that cheap or high ?
One is D&T'ed for weaver mounts and the other Leupold.
If it is drilled to fit weaver, will a Leupold fit up ? I really want a Leupold mount.
