New member here. My favorite MilSurp is my '03 Springfield. Made in 1929. Re-barreled July '42 to kill Japs. It appears that it spent most of it's life on the rack. The '42 barrel, I assume was due to corrsive priming not properly cleaned on the original barrel. The metal work is 95 % +. The stock was perfect except for being saturated with oil or cosmoline icon

. I used Brownell's Whiteing to suck out the oil. I gave it a hand rubbed finish with Pilkington linseed oil icon

. It now is a beautiful rifle that is extremely accurate. I would not part with it. I am anticipating spending a lot of time on this forum.

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.

Retired and have an interest in Springfield 1903's. Memories of my Grandad's service rifle, or the one I played with a long time ago.

Now rebuilding, assembling parts from various sources. Intend on using the rifle for hunting and as a learning tool to gain knowledge about this rifle.

Reload for .45acp, .308, and .243 win(s). It's amazing the amount of information here. Thanks to all contributors, it makes my new endeavor safer and more enjoyable.
