    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 ...

    Watch ebay constantly. Set up the search, check it daily. I've eventually gotten most all of my missing hard to finds that way. May take months, may take years but eventually, one will show up.

    I'm still looking for a rear sight for a Chassepot, A cleaning rod for a Gras, A cleaning rod for a Dutch Mannlicher. Some of these things are not easy.

    Honestly not to be a jerk, but the only other real way to likely acquire one is to buy another 1893 with the magazine in it. I have had to do that with certain rifles in the past.

    Sometimes too good a deal is too good a deal for example if someone is selling a AG-42b without a magazine for cheap its because if you do find a magazine it will cost at least half the value of the rifle to acquire it.
