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.

A real live Russian icon

...I remember when those commanded a huge premium back in the '80s when there weren't any.

Field stripped it down today. Cleaned it all up!! However I would like to upgrade the firing pin by adding a spring to it. Not too keen on the slam fire possibility! But yeah this gun is in fantastic shape. There was very little rust, just in a couple spots and I used the brass brush and some G96, also used the G96 to clean everything else too! SKS is super clean now and the rifling looks really good as well!!
Can't wait to shoot it!! Oh by the way it came with 3 stripper clips, Tula Ammo pouch, oil bottle & butt stock cleaning kit.
