This is going to be difficult to explain to the ball and chain. If I quit posting you'll all know she killed me.

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.

My first L42a1- still have it, didn't mean to imply it went anywhere (photos from August 2009):

So far, the A/N PVS-1 is as close to a British icon

IWS that I've been able to muster.

Still shoots well after all these years, but it's NOT forgiving of indifferent shooting technique! Unlike some other rifles, you really have to concentrate on what you are doing.

Added a pic to the very first post- didn't quite expect so many fast responses!

Thanks, all.

If there's more, drag 'em out!

I know of another that I had for a while that is back in a friend's hands, but no known pics of it- so far.

Feeling semi-alive after hitting the sack for eleven hours Saturday afternoon.

Adding a link to RobD's thread. It's an interesting specimen that's worthy of study, pay particular attention to the odd S/N and the following posts discussing how it came to be:

L42A1 with unusual fore end?

Lots of photos in post #1 of RobD's thread!

ETA: All of the links known to me are listed together at the beginning of this thread.
If there's more, please post 'em!

I have been acquiring all the bits and pieces over the last couple of years with help from some great people in England icon

and in Germany icon

. Was able to get the IWS from England about a year ago. The IWS mount is a repro with original thumbscrews. Brian Dick icon

was kind enough to completely check out the rifle when I found it at a show in Reno. Nothing like having an expert give a first hand look prior to purchasing. Anyway, it is probably my favorite Enfield sniper. It is neck and neck with my Trials "T". As always, any comments and input are appreciated. Brian

Some L42a1 scope turret photos in this thread:

See Posts #4 and #10 (#4 has no "M" and #10 shows the "M" on the turret.)

This thread also details the variance in clicks from "0-10" for the No.32 versus the L1A1 scope.
