    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 ...

    I had a number of both styles of mounting systems: the PH bases and the one shown at the start of this thread. I consider the type shown here much more robust and it also gave more options in setting the scope position on the rifle.
    Having used both types on the range I actually preferred the rail type shown and have always kicked my A$$ for not keeping one of those as well, however had I kept every variant that passed through my hands I would have ended up keeping half a dozen rifles. Mounting systems, bipods, scope types, the list was almost endless. The rail was made of steel and was well mounted both front and rear, alas however, no markings as to the maker. The rear mounting was SOLID!!!!! as was the front. From what I remember it appeared to be hand fitted as there was no slop or movement and was not a Rube Goldberg unit. It WAS SOLID and well made!!!! I recall there was about one in 5/10 that had the full bar mounting system compared to the rear PH block and front base. I did have more than a decent sample to make the comparison at the time and the only reason I kept the one I did as it was the only one that had a test target enclosed from RSAF(E) with and without the scope. Interesting in that they used the actual scope serial number on the test target and not the scope number of the rifle that was added to the scope. My original scope got separated from the rifle and after 15 plus years I did put the original scope back on the rifle after a trade with another collector who had my scope. It does happen.
    A recent new owner of an Enforcer in Canadaicon advertised he had acquired it on another web site so I checked my files and still had the papers for it so he got those a gift.
    I actually have a No.32 scope here that matches the serial number of a "wanted scope" in Angels matching service. I sent pictures to the person looking for the scope and have never heard back from him. Go figure...........
    I digress.......

    Can you post more detailed pictures of the base and rings? Anybody able to identify scope manufacturer? Looks post war Sovieticon or Germanicon. Interesting set up....some police forces purchased without scopes and added scopes of their preference. Anybody got a picture of a different set up?
