What an overwhelming wealth of knowledge.

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.

Hi! I am a retired USAF Combat Arms Instructor and a lifelong Garand enthusiast. I just acquired a Garand in .308. I detail stripped it , cleaned, and inspected everything. Everything was in good order. At the range I was pleasantly surprized by the mild recoil and accurate groups attainable. In other words, I LOVE IT!. I also have a Swiss icon

K31. If a person trims down the tab on the M1 cylinder lock (to around a sixteenth of an inch), the Swiss bayonet fits perfectly. It also looks great. Glad to be a new member of this fine forum. I purchased the garand as a back-up for my M1A icon

. I'm now having a personal debate over which one is better!
Oh, such problems to have! May it never be resolved.
