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.

Wish that someone would give me something like that!!!

I know what you mean. I still can't believe my good fortune. On top of that, tomorrow my wife is giving me another just like it that is waiting for me at the little gun store where she had it delivered. It's another CLLE with all the markings and stamps, never been sanded, cleaned, or anything. Got it on Gunbroker the other day in time for my birthday. Made in 1899. That's where she got the other one too. Wow, ain't she somethin? I feel like it's Christmas all of the time. Both have dark wood and excellent bores. I'll post it here tomorrow if anyone would care to look at it.
