    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. Brian Dick ...

    Sad, but at least it survives…

    I take it you rescued it for posterity?

    Good save,I would love to have her in the collection, an exceptionally rare find.

    Not the original handguards I'm guessing?

    Three slot I think?

    Here's mine. It did time at Radway Green until it cracked the Body and then it was returned to Enfield.


    Yours has been fitted with L1A1 handguards and also the X8E5 Cocking Handle. Nice to see such an early serial numbered rifle.

    Nice Kev!

    Lovely rifle, these early examples are rather rare finds.
