    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 ...

    This was one I'd never seen before out of that link... Guess I should have known they did BARs too. The .50 was a surprise.

    Thank you for the link BAR! That was some very cool and interesting reading! I didn't realize the canning process meant cosmolineicon free firearms. In my opinion, this was one of the smartest things Uncle Sam ever did. Just a very neat idea. I would love just to have an empty drum

    They just wanted to be ready for the next BIG thing. After all the money spent, can't we just have some of this on hand?
