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.

Good for you, Broomhandle. Introducing the young to the safe use and enjoyment of firearms is a great idea.
Hope your grandson keeps and passes the tradition on.

Garand for him for Christmas. A friend of mine is offering an M1 Garand that was manufactured in January 1940. I did some reading and found out that the Garand was changed sometime later in the year in 1940 due to problems with the gun and the gas(?). Is this a desirable gun to purchase or is it one to stay away from? Is it hard to get parts or rounds for this gun? He would probably really want a 1942 or 1943 Garand. Could someone please give me some advice on a January 1940 M1 Garand? Thanks in advance...........Kathi
