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.

Bindi, thanks for lunch on Monday.

You are picking the right time to go home, just before war is declared - the Ashes Test Series.

I would like to thank Norman,Peter and Cath and all the others for making my visit so enjoyable loved the office humour.Will have many questions If you dont mined Peter to fill in some of the gaps when you had to attend to real work not sticky beak Aussies.

While you are in the country theres a Bannerman .303 training/drill rifle I spotted in the REME online photo collection that was mis labeled as a Lee Enfield Rifle icon

.

I contacted the museum , and they said they intended to dig the rifle out and examine it, but I haven't heard any more about it.

Hopefully they have the actual rifle rather than just a mislabeled photo with the number of a different rifle. These are very rare. Well worth a look.
