This came from a veteran many years ago, all matching including the stock which shows a field repair. I have shoot light reloads which work out fine

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.

Very Cool.That is in great condition for its age. I have a M1930 model. What is that carved into the wood?

I remember buying some factory ammo for mine, not sure of the name of the manufacturer. Century rings a bell from Portugal. Rounds were cracking at the neck and after several rounds one sheared completely and remained in the chamber, the next round chambered and fired causing the bolt face and extractor to be torn away. It was a sad day but I eventually found another bolt and retired the gun to the gun safe.

I had one while in NB and it had the same damage to the stock, the top as it sits in this pic was cracked both sides. I applied microbed and fixed it. That gun was about new...

Very nice and with matching numbers. Winston Churchill's favorite pistol and up high on my want list. Bill
