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.

Today was deep clean day, after a good bit of shooting of course.

That's the one, not so much the M44.

Nice way to start a collection! I remember 42 years ago when as a young paperboy I bought my first K98 icon

. Got it from a gun shop/general store and my Dad had to sign the paperwork. Picked up a Lee Loader and a bunch of 8mm brass and learned to reload as well. I would sling that K98 and put an ammo can in my newspaper basket on my bike. Ride down to an old closed up rock quarry and defend Normandy. After joining the Army the K98 and several other to include a No 4 Mk I sat in a closet in my parents house. When the milsurps started pouring in during the late 80's the bug hit me again. When I retired I had amassed quite a collection. On the third level town house the bottom floor had about 200 long guns and half in pistols/revolvers. In 2003 I downsized and got rid of just about everything with the exception of a minty K98(my original one was sold years ago as my loving Brother shot WW2 ammo out of it and didn't clean the bore for 5 years), M1 icon

Carbine, M1 Garand, Krag, Lebel and all of my UK icon

long arms. Currently my collecting interest are only UK. My office rack I keep 20 of them to admire, shoot and show off. But enjoy those rifles! I also agree with Jim that Steyr stock is very pretty.

Awesome story bruce. Nobody I associate with understands why I love these "old pieces of junk". If only it was the old times and we could buy these things for $20!

I think everyone on this forum understands they are not junk! For me I appreciate them all. From all countries they were soldiers once.
