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.

That sure looks like JB Weld on the dove tail!

Bill,
I think it's Silly Putty..... Maybe that new book shows this was a in house repair, to salvage a receiver !!
See the Trigger Housing also has the added oil lube/drain hole on the left side.

It looks like what ever it is on the dove tail is cracking under the strain of the not so good repo rear sight. AND it sold for $2200 to an unsuspecting buyer who got taken big time.

Looks like the buyer likes being taken he also bought a 44 WRA for Sam-T-Bob a couple weeks ago also.

**painter777** · 12-21-2010 11:00 AM

Looking farther back in the buyers feedback, he's bought a total of 3 times from S-T-B.
Also look at the WRA CC stamp, W slingwell stamp and "EW" safety on that 44 WRA......
This seller doesn't give up.
Wonder if they'll be publishing a book soon ?

Anyone know the buyer? Could it be a shill bidder?

**HotTom** · 12-21-2010 02:46 PM

I know the seller.

Bought an Inland carbine from him that had several flaws he forgot to mention in the description. All were post war parts that are easily replaced with genuine Inland parts but, while he may not lie about the gun, he omits mention of what isn't correct. A lie by omission is still a lie. I would avoid this seller.
