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.

Even so, $150 for S base, unmarked leaf?

**jimb16** · 08-17-2009 01:44 PM

Looks ok to me, but its priced on the high side.....

**Bufordm1** · 08-17-2009 04:56 PM

Thanks guys,
Price does seem steep. Looked ok to me, but wanted to verify with those who have been at this for a while.. Amazing, our friend on the left coast sometimes gets that much$ for his repros. Anyways, pleasant change to see a real one amongst the fakes.

If repo's sell for $120, how can you price a original one lower?

**Bufordm1** · 08-18-2009 01:01 AM

Here's one for less. Has that "been there done that" look.

Not trying to be picky. But I wouldn't call that "overall good condition" as the listing says. And up to $76, whew....

**Bufordm1** · 08-18-2009 06:39 PM

Ha,
When I posted the link it was only $52. Didn't think it would go much higher since seller's "overall good condition" didn't quite match most peoples definition.

**jimb16** · 08-18-2009 07:56 PM

It went for more than it should have!

**JimF4M1s (Deceased)** · 08-18-2009 08:39 PM

Sold for $129.49
Time to get out the spare parts, wow.
