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.

Welcome to the forum!

Their heights are marked alphabetically, with the highest being an 'A', and I don't know how far down they go to. ('E', 'F'.... ?)

I was going through my parts yesterday and saw a new 'C' blade and pin still in the wrapper. You can have it to get you running if you want it. Just send me a PM with an address and I'll mail it out.

Make sure you get the GI pin with the blade. Those tiny pins are tough to find.

I was wondering what happened to the original sight. This isn't a restored drill rifle is it?

**Stone7Romeo** · 02-16-2011 10:08 PM

How would I know if it was a restored drill rifle?

**Calif-Steve** · 02-16-2011 10:22 PM

Could you post a photo of the cut-off?

**Stone7Romeo** · 02-16-2011 10:30 PM

will do?

**Stone7Romeo** · 02-17-2011 09:17 PM

Here are the pics. I really hope this is not a drill rifle. I want to take this our on a hunt next weekend.
