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.

That is absolutely stunning!

Thought I'd tiddle this up a bit as a living record. We don't see many of these for a reason... The three magazines accompanying were perfect.

That's quite something Jim!

Outstanding, If only we could back in time John.... or up sticks and go across the pond.

If anyone is interested and read the letter, Burtonwood is not far from me, approx 5-6 miles, was still very much an airfield until late 90's, industrial area now. small heritage centre there that I,ve yet to go, as entrance is via a theme park so need tickets.

I do look at such things. One has no idea the magnitude of the WW2 airfields in UK icon

until you look at one and see another within about 5k of that one and another, and another...or traces of one.

Sure is Geoff .... Burtonwood was a huge airbase in its time. The M62 motorway runs right through it now of course.

Thank You Jim for putting this Together just like the Midas Touch. I couldn't get the Pictures to look Right or especially to line them up the way you do it...
