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.

Purchased in early 2020, 1941 Mk.I #0L2781, receiver and barrel matching, and also bolt #0L1322. My earliest LB rifle.

Marksman, the butt plate isn't steel, it is an alloy called zamak icon

. Lack of brass to make butt plates.

I have 26L4016. 1943 all matching serial numbers. 5 groove barrel. Small repair on butt stock but otherwise in very good order. I don't suppose anyone would have a correct sling for it?

Just picked up a 1950 No4 Mk1* with serial number 94L7747. I know nothing about the rifle as I picked it up yesterday afternoon except that it has a steel butplate, click slide rear sight and has matching bolt. Had a quick look over it and there are still traces of packing grease on the rifle. I'll probably be reaching out for some info on it.

Just collected 1L937 from my dealer, post Lockdown.
1941 receiver, 1942 two groove barrel, LB marked short Butt.
Any know what the markings are on the R/H side of the receiver, by the rear sight?

I think she's lovely!
