    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 ...

    The 7.35 carcano brass is out there sometimes, but if you can only get the 6.5 carcano all that is required is run it through 7.35 sizing die and trim 1mm. You now have 7.35 brass. Bullets are not that difficult to do also.
    I made a .299 inch sizing die out of a .284" die. Then take 150 grain .308 bullets,(I use flat base) lube them up and squeeze them thru the die once or twice and now you have 150 gr 7.35 bullets. Last time I checked the Lee 7.35 Carcano dfie set is still out there.
    Using these loads makes for a nice soft recoiling rifle. Oh yeah, my rifle was also hiding in Finlandicon and whoever had it carved his name in the stock, adds a bit of history to me. Also have a folding bayonet and correct scabbard.

    I have ordered a box of PPU ammo.
    If I like the gat (I bet I will), I’ll buy the dies and bullets. They are available here without trouble.
    These weeks are a bit full, otherwise I’d have shot the thing already.
