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.

Speaking of the trainers, does anyone have an idea on how many No 7's were made, BSA's vs Long Branches? I understand there were two production runs of the LB's, but have yet to run down any production numbers.
Thanks.....

Longbranch production of CNo7 - 1944-1950 = 20,000
BSA Production of No7 Mk1 for the RAF - 1948 (only year produced) = 2500

No8's = Fazakerly 15,000, BSA 2000
No9's = Parker Hale 3000

For those unfamiliar with the numbers as I was all too recently, the no8 is a .22 enfield that resembles a stocky jungle carbine and was purpose built to be a .22 trainer/shooter, while the no9 .22 enfield is a no4 enfield with a .22 conversion.

thats a hard one, the No8 is one hell of a accurate a rifle, the No9, is a loverly looking rifle that whilst not as accurate as the No8 is still a heap of fun to take down to the range. I am not sure if i could actually choose?
