    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 ...

    Thumbs up

    Finally, something for my collection instead of ~Angel~'s ...

    On it's way....

    A VERY early 1936 production rifle with no letter "block" designation after the serial number. From the first producion year by Mauser Werke, Oberndorf. It is completely matching even down to the trigger housing screws and bandspring and stamped "DRP Ldsht" in the sling cutout.


    1936 Code S/42 K98kicon (7.92 x 57mm) - Serial # 3947

    Finally new toys for me

    Finally after many months without a new toy and having to dream about Badger's new toys I have a couple.

    First my new to me SMLE Cond IV converted at Enfield in 1910 from an 1897 BSA
    MLE Mk I. All matching except for the bolt, upgraded to Mk VII (HV) ammo.

    Second, for the bayonet collectors out there, a very hard to find No.1 Mk II made by MIL. One of the rarer manufacturers that was not upgraded to Mk II*.

    Nice Butt

    As a cartouche man, I love butts, so when I saw this one for sale I paid more than I should of, butt it is one nice butt.

    Stores date in upper left corner is "6/08"
    Enfield "III" cartouche
    Rack # "4105"
    "HV" for High Velocity, thus upgraded to Mk VII sometime post 1912
    "Commonwealth of Australiaicon" cartouche (center territorial mark unreadable)
    Sale mark

    and surprise

    "H" marked for Heavy barrel.

    Wish I had the whole rifle

    Not a May purchase, actually bought last Feb. But since I am new here I'll post some pics up here.





    She's a high number Springfield with 42 dated SA replacement barrel and keystone replacement stock. Along with an arsenal repark job.

    Love that one I wish I could find that model converted from a Sparkbrook. I'd even settle for a MkI** IP if it used to be a sparkbrook made receiver...
