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.

Bolt knob has a larger than normal hole also.

Jungle Carbines didn't have the s/n stamped on the buttsocket. It was electropencilled in that wonderful British icon

way on the left side of the receiver near the ejector screw area. No 5 Mk I ROF(F) sort of thing, then a letter and 4 numbers for a s/n.

It looks like it was refurbished in India and has the Ishapore re-inforcing screw which explains the stampings in the butt. If still all matching with a decent bore, it's worth $250-300 or so in Canada icon

. A bit less stateside.

Appears to be a Fazakerley made piece.
