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.

The rifle recorded on the conversion list as 30L0027 is actually serial numbered 50L0027.

The transit box is owned by a member here complete with the printed data label to 50L0027.

It sold today for $6,750.00 plus 17.5 percent consignment fee. I gave it my best shot. Would have been nice to have consecutive sniper rifles.
Ah, in another 20 years, if I live so long!

Hi Roy, Not wishing to detract from Simon replying to your specific enquiry, but if you haven't seen it before, you may be interested in this thread from 2013 that references this L42 serial no.
