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.

I have been a budding collector for about 20 years, no special interests, just old military weapons in general. Your site has some of the most detailed photos I've seen. Conratulations to the photographer. hdpete

Hi everyone. I've been reloading and shooting for many years, my passing fancies including Swedish icon

, Italian

, Jap, English and American rifles. I've been a secret admirer of the Lebel and Bertier rifles and posesser of a Mdle 1916 carbine for a year or so. I don't consider myself an expert, just a serious hobbist. I'm looking forward to taking with you. Shannman
