    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. Brian Dick ...

    Got the scope in the mail yesterday, and looks to me it was range scope, don't think based on how its finish "wore" down that it really saw any use outside of a range. Seems to be all adjustment dials from fingers rubbing it off, and from the hard plastic case while being carried around.

    Just need to figure out what to do with the Claw mount now.

The Kahles C2 scopes used on the early C3 rifles did make it onto the market, but usually they were just mixed in with various scrap. One dealer who I bought from had 3 of them show up in a triwall full of boots.
    You still have any one of them kahles C2? Want to sell them? thanks.

    Humm, now after being able to play with the sights of my M1Aicon I'm starting to think I'm going to go with no optics on this rifle. I'm really liking its iron sights.

    There are, of course, the ELCAN scopes currently in use, and they can be found with a 7.62 ballistic cam in them. They are reasonably rugged, but the magnification is not great.

    Have a look at the SARCO website. They post a PDF of their latest shotgun news ad on their website. You might find something on there.
    In regards to the C1A1 scope; are you referring to the Trilux SUIT? I bought one privately, mounted for $200.- shipped. They are available from several US dealers between 200 and 300. Two examples recently sold on ebay around the 200 mark. Where in Canadaicon can I get the weaver mount converter?

    No, I am referring to the Leitz C1 sniperscope. It came in a small can with a rail cover and a couple of accessories. There was a replacement top cover for the rifle to go with the kit. I did see one of these go on ebay about a year or so back, and it went for the low price of just $800. The top covers are usually found seperately. If the seller does not know what he has, they can be had for $20-50. If he knows what he has, it will run $100 to $400.
    Here is my setup. I have seen the rail on shorter top covers, but this top cover is definitely Cdn (it has the little tabs at the back), although the riveting is a bit bubba'd.
