    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    There is no proof that the slides are Savage, but that is probably a best guess. The A.J. Savage company had a contract for 1911 pistols, along with several others, that was cancelled with the end of WWI. No pistols were delivered, but the U.S. Government settled with A. J. Savage for expenses incurred in trying to get into production. It is thought that the slides were already in production when the contract was cancelled, and were used for replacement slides during rebuild. Strange that a quantity of completed slides had been made, but no receivers.

    Uncle Sam's way of saying "thank you" for a job well done. The slide has been through the de-mil process. On this one it was bent until it broke, and the barrel (a Flannery Bolt) is permanently attached to the slide.
