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.

I just can't believe that someone paid the asking price.

The last one that came to auction (last year) sold for $20,685 (cdn) less....

I know where I can buy a Winchester 1 of 1000 in fine condition for (a lot) less than the difference...

Going to the US apparently. Sign of a strong dollar!

What a price tag it had! Whoever bought it has some deep pockets.

I'm pretty sure I was on Medicine Man '76...wonder why that was so special? Neat pics of Camp Crowfoot...what a sh*thole...

I assume that the rifle would have been on strength of one of the units attending the 76 exercise to Canada icon

🇨🇦 Good bit of history for the new custodian

Neat to think it was just across the tank park from me at some point, when we were shaking out to move.

I have an L42 which was on Exercise Pond Jump West in Wainwtight, Canada icon

I was involved in a few of those too, if only at a minimum role. It's all wrapped up together with BATUS. They try to get the best bang for their buck they can.
