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.

Hey Paul! I'm ready to make some "401K" investments. How much did you say you were selling that one for? (Only half kidding)

It's the other half that gets expensive.

Why? The rest of it should be Underwood parts.......

All I can say is WOW~

I was making a play on words with your remark, not talking about parts. Half kidding about selling, meaning the whole gun. Half kidding about wanting to buy, the whole gun.

TR, I'll play T-ball wiff ya. I need practice hitting the ball offin that "T" though

After 25 plus years of doing this I'm still in awe at what these boys come up with.

Thanks Rustship for sharing this unique piece with us.

Ok, so all of US seem to appreciate it as a rare and historical piece...

So how do we get the next two generations to appreciate it? Those that do mess with guns seem to favor black plastic play toys. They don't care that only 3 of those 70 year old wood and metal "old fashioned" guns exist.

Love to see it, but now i am wondering what will be come of it?

Hmmm... I think I need a drink... who has the coffee?
