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.

There should be an 'OI' in the channel inside the stock. You'll probably need to remove the camo paint to see anything on the outside of the stock grip.

Take a picture of the inside of the butt plate and post it. This will most likely determine it's authenticity.

Notice anything strange about the location of the barrel band retaining spring?

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 04-22-2009 01:39 PM

Awoa!

**jimb16** · 04-22-2009 02:16 PM

Not to mention the round head screw on the band or the rolocated hole for the catch or the permanently attached recoil check??

I think it's plastic. The pistol grip and stock appear to be one piece. JMHO

Fulcrum28,

Don't take all the negative sounding comments to heart as hurtful, but you rifle is very sad because it could have been worth quite a bit if it had not been ruined as a collector by 'Bubba'. Sadly, your M1A1 icon

has had a very hard life. The stock alone would have been worth more than the Winchester action. With the modifications done to the Winchester action it's collector value is minimal as well.

Shoot it and enjoy it for what it is.

Just wondering why the barrel band spring and the barrel band were modified?
Any ideas?
