    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. Brian Dick ...

    Nice rifle. Take a close look at the finger grooves - is there an "SYT" stamp in either of them?

    Take a look at this entry for some info:

    It seems to be a nice rifle. How accurate is? BTW, enjoy it at range!

    I love it Topaz!

    Have you taken it to the range yet?

    Will you post a short history of where you got it, etc?

    Thank You , I will take it to the range this summer,I happen to come across this model 28 about 4or 5 years ago, a friend was selling off some of his rifles and he ask if I was in the market of buying some rifles. Never shot the rifle just had it hanging on the wall. Thanks again Topaz

    I also have an M28 with the double sling slot setup. Pretty hard to find, since I believe only the first 6,000 or so actually had the ski trooper setup. Your stock seems to be in better condition than mine is though, haha! Either way the Finns made some nice rifles, so it should be a good shooter!

    Yup, mine's a low number as well. Here is the best overall pic I have of the rifle. Stock is pretty well worn and defiantly not as nice as yours, but still is very awesome!
