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.

Only because I am not the one looking.

I usually only find what I am seeking after I give up (No 5 Mk1 bayonet) or after I purchase one for to many $s (saw two,yes two Hakim bayonets on the same table this week end bought one hoping it was better than the one I had and payed too much for).

I hear you there...

I paid through the nose for it but it was cheaper than buying the repro stock plus I have all the metal to sell so I'm content. Stock has nice tiger striping and looks good with the exception of one large gouge that could be from a bullet strike. That's what I'm going with anyway. Just popped up on ebay last night. I made him an offer, he countered I accepted. Was one other guy making an offer on it as well so I didn't want to take a chance. I was almost ready to buy the repro but I'm very glad this one came along before I did.

Could we see a few pictures of your KAR 98 stock when it arrives, please, especially of the "bullet strike", thanks.

They are crappy photos but it's what I got.

**browningautorifle** · 07-20-2016 08:07 PM

Yep, you've got a stock...and soon we'll see the whole rifle. That'll be neat. Feels like it was something I completed here...

Expected delivery day of Monday. Can't wait.
