    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 ...

    Originals can be found but are high priced. I think Numrich is selling repo's but haven't a clue as to the price. A reproduction would be quite OK on the rifle you described.

    Does Krieger make match barrels for the 03A3?

    1903A3 USMC Front Sight Cover

    I've got two original ones, but not for sale. I hate to be a wet blanket, but the USMC front sight covers are allowed ONLY on 1903 rifles - not 1903A3's. The CMPicon at Perry will dis-qualify the rifle if used in Springfield match.

    You can find a real M1921 National Match front sight cover for about the same price as a USMC cover. On second thought, I'm not sure if it will fit over the high M1903A3 front sight.
