    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.

    Looks nice. Take some "macro" photos of the insides and such.

    Exceptional rifle.

    My DCM Garandicon is a SA s/n 3,839,288. My receiver is June '45 as I recall, and like yours still has a 1945 barrel.

    Came with a lock bar sight but the later stamped trigger group. I eventually traded for an earlier milled unit.

    The wood (all walnut) on mine, while not beat up is very dark. The catrouches are the same as yours. Unfortunately, the receiver fits loosely in the stock so it's not a tack driver.

    Your metal finish looks near new. Mine shows quite a bit of use after production or last overhaul.

    3.8

    Very nice rifle. I have been looking for an original 3.8 Rifle for a while. NMC, I believe a stamped trigger guard would be original to your rifle. I hope you still have it so you can switch it back...
