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.

OK, so here's the pics...and a link to their site. Ross Rifle Restoration

They're Whitehead Brothers mounts for the SMLE that I think Lorne of Ross Rifle Restoration makes. I also still have some available from my most recent little production run. I bought a replacement Ross handguard off him recently & we discussed the bases & fitting scopes to SMLE's & so on. An interesting chat & a helpful gentleman.

Here's a few more sets. I leave the drilling of the two 4BA screw holes to the end user so as to permit of the maximum lateral adjustment, in case anyone was wondering why the flat of the rear base is not drilled & tapped. All screws on this system are 4BA - flat head countersunk for the dovetail blocks & countersunk instrument head for the screws attaching the bases to the rifle.

I have a clone of a No. 2 Mk. IV I made up from salvaged/scrap parts using a lined .303 barrel, and a vintage Fecker outside adjustment scope. A Whitehead pattern mount set would allow me to scope this rifle in a manner that would maintain a classic appearance.

Hi Roger It also was a pleasure also chatting with you. I also do not drill the dove tail scope base holes into the white head mounts I produce. Some guys are using Malcolm 6x scopes (as I am also) for a clone of the A5 Winchester. They are few and far between up here in Canada icon

.

I am still on the lookout for an Aldis Brothers 2nd pattern scope. Working or not!

**Roger Payne** · 08-14-2021 01:42 PM

Thanks Lorne. I haven't fitted the Ross guard yet, but will get round to doing it shortly. I have a lovely 1913 produced recipient rifle for it!

Yes, I've been lucky enough to turn up a few original British icon

/Dominion provenanced A5's over the years, but they are getting hard to find now, & tend to command a king's ransom when they do turn up. Even 'civvy' examples fetch quite a lot.

Roger. I picked up a US Warner Swasey a month or so ago. (Doing a Ross Sniper Clone) Now I have to carry lead in my pockets to keep me down due to my pockets being so light after that purchase!

Now back to pursuing an Aldis scope!

I understand only too well! If you need a reproduction base for the Ross project let me know. I had a few made a couple of years back......
