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.

Lance, that's a great collection. I have a couple of .22 SMLE's. one is a Lithgow icon

from 1946; the other is a 1918 peddled scheme rifle by SSA.
However this rifle does not carry the normal .22 stamps on the wrist.

It looks like a solid .22 barrel, not tubed.

Interesting rifles your SSA might be military or civilian. There were military contracted conversions that were not marked, for example, all the AM s/n'd rifles (Air Ministry some have thought).

Here some pictures taken from an Italian icon

site “exordinanza.net”.
These rifles were modified in Terni.
They have front and rear sight from M1 icon

Garands.
The rear sight, in order to allow the removal of the bolt, is installed with a hinge and a locking system, and can be tilted sideways.
The magazine is empty and is used to collect the spent cases.
These rifles are very well liked by shooters due to the long sight radius and the excellent sights.

Here is the link to the article.

I hope I could post that material...

Now I’m in trouble...
A guy will come over tomorrow and look at my StGew57.
If he buys it, I’ll have the 750 I need for the pea shooter...
I’ll hold my breath now...(metaphorically

).

You will not regret buying a .22 SMLE. They are so much fun to shoot. Even my 9 year old daughter loves shooting them
