    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 ...

    Charlie,

    Not trying to be a smart a** but Standard Products only had 1 block, 1,982,520 to 2,352,519. March or April of 1943 to about April of 1944.

    About April 1944 for your serial number Gunner at the end of production. Is the rear sight stamped on the right side with an H inside a shield? If so it would most likely be original to the receiver. The Underwood barrel would most likely have a date on it of 3-44 or 4-44. The price with all of the extras is an excellent price over here. Good luck with it if you do get it.

    Hi Bruce,

    Thanks for the reply. The rear side has an letter but i dont remember it, have to look at the next time. The barrel has the U.S.-Ordnance Bomb but the date is very weak to see. so i couldnt see is it 43 or 44. I will take pictures the next time i see it and add them here.
    Regards Ulrich

    Ruth estimates late (last month) production, April 1944. Harrison estimates January 1944. I don't have War Baby. Figure sometime in early 1944 unless better data to the contrary.

    Sorry for the redundant post - I didn't notice the second page of replies when I posted. Senior moment.

    Do yourself a favor and ignore anything in the Harrison book. Its got more errors than Carter has liver pills!
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
