    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 ...

    So how much weight would that sight add to the gun?

    I think it's about 7lbs, with another 20lbs of battery and power supply. Note the cord going down his chest. Probably the battery in the grass trick.

    Those old night sights were a nightmare. They made the rifle about un-useable. Most the time the sights only just worked...mostly...

    Thank goodness they were used at night time. It would be very hard to keep concealed with that thing.

    They were horrible...I'm glad we have smaller stuff now. Too bad it wasn't around when we had to carry all that stuff...

    Crikey, what a nightmare. Fascinating pic though. Is that a pair of binos mounted on his helmet? Just to add to the fun?
