    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.

    Rifle L32565 was part of batch number 21 which consisted of 20 rifles. Your rifle may well have been used by the training establishment and Peter will likely have all those serial numbers recorded but the records I have access to show your rifle as being sent to store at Donnington on the 10th August 1971.

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    Mr Peter Ladlier, based on the number of the scope told me that the rifle was a training rifle for snipers at the Warminster School of Infantry
    Would appreciate any additional information/details.
    Thanks,

    Simon,

    Have you got a copy of "the list" which links L1A1 scope numbers to the L42?


    Trying to track down the scope numbers for rifles U32392 and X31991....

    L39a1

    Hello Simon

    Do you have any information on the following L39A1 rifle: UE.70.A805.

    I also have a Parker Hale L81A1 in my collection, I don't suppose you have any information on these? Many thanks.

    Regards
