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.

My boss would say "because if you are not early you are late."

The first thing to look at @ sign on. Real treasures and greatly appreciated. Early, late, I will take them any way they come.

Note the grenade, when REAL grenades were yellow...

Yes, they were yellow; so were bombs etc. The camouflage implications of this for large ordnance dumps caused the change to O.D. with yellow markings. Naturally large stocks of the old ones had to be used up first.

We see that with the first pics of the Pacific campaign and troops using yellow frag.

Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.
