    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 ...

    Excellent work indeed by both parties, I now have two very well made ejectors with many thanks to Rambo's efforts, Dave did just as well it's just a shame that some toe rag stole our parcel and then probably threw the hole lot in the bin when they realised that it was just full of unrecognised spare parts.
    My post was not intended as a pop at anyone just trying to point out the problem that we had and a warning to others who might think about getting stuff sent from the US or anywhere else for that matter, if its valuable make sure that you use a carrier that will insure the item, we did not find out about the lack of insurance until after the event. Hence my last line "you live and learn"

    The problem with DTC ITAR licensed and controlled shipments containing gun parts is there are NO common carriers that will accept the shipments from the USAicon. The USPS doesn't offer insurance for UKicon shipments so the only LEGAL way to ship other than USPS is by air freight which gets considerably more expensive. I realize folks are posting parts back and forth all the time over borders but that doesn't make it LEGAL.

    I think sometimes we probably go out our way to source some bits just in case....but will probably never need to use them. I'm guilty of such a crime regarding my Matchless WD G3L, only basic bits such as magneto parts etc, but when I think of the miles its going to do (not many in our climate) I'm holding off until the need arises, I found a site that supplies all sorts of parts for very reasonable prices, inlet and exhaust valves for £15 and valve guides for £10........they probably will be needed in the engine rebuild but won't know until its on the bench in bits......

    Back to the rifles, in all the time in my club the only thing I've needed to supply and fit to Members Enfield's were, a new extractor, a striker spring and to clean up the striker itself, ( he was adamant he needed a new one) and a rear sight.......

    There are other major parts but not the fault of the rifle........
