    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 ...

    Ayup Alan,

    Managed to get here as well. However, for some reason my photos won't make the jump from my computer or Phtobucket to the site. I was also having trouble posting them on Joustericon yesterday, so it might be an issue with the settings on the new computer.
    As a side line, were you at Scotarms auction the other week?

    Yes I was at Newark - and it seems quite a few other (Jouster CSP) were there as well.
    Next time we'll all have to meet up at the butty wagon

    Meeting up sounds like a good plan. I'll have to get a handle on what people look like first though. Did you buy any new toys? This time I only came back with a Webley and Scott 9mm garden gun. To be honest I wasn't expecting much for £20, but the thing was virtually brand new. It even still has the white paint high-lighting the "WEBLEY MADE IN ENGLAND" stamp. All I need now is a few rats to shoot.

    Picked up a mixed bag of sights which had a couple of bits in I wanted and some I didnt (including a 4T scope mount, pads and V blocks - sold them on now) You'll probably remember the lot as the 'clerk' came back to the auctioneer to check the sale price when the other bags of sight parts were only fetching £20 and this was was many, many times more.. Obviously many other people apart from myself realised the 4T bracket was in there.

    When we meet up we'll all have to wear CSPicon badges (as long as we dont get confused with the CND people !!!

    Looking forward to the bits and bobs Alan. Made it over here too, but can't quite shake the feeling we got the "bum's rush" out of our other haunt.

    saw that.

    Lot 143, I was bidding on it myself but it soon climbed past my limit. Amongst the lots of loose actions at the front of the hall there were also 2 No4(T) receivers, one with pads and one without. If you had an RFD there was the chance to build up at least one 4(T) out of bits.

    Lot 117
    Seven No4 barrels (in what looked like good condition) £32.00

    O' to be an RFD !!!

    For our colonial friends RFD = Registered firearms Dealer (can buy pretty much anything in any quantity)
    Us lesser mortals can only buy what Mr Policeman has pre-authorised on our licence so spot a bargain - Tough you cannot have it.
