    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 ...

    Early & very nice! Bayo adds $250 to the value. Belonging to dad priceless.

    P.S. Nice photos as well. In the buisness? Background looks professional.

    Thanks!!

    Been in photo retail for over 30 years now. The background is a simple, white spring-loaded window shade. I use this setup for my used and collectible camera business and for firearm photos (which are more fun!!). The key to good pics is controlling the light. Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon you are at nature's mercy but in studio ......

    I need a scabbard for the bayo but I think I can steal one from a #9 bayo I have .... somewhere.

    Thanks for the photo of the photo studio. I am going to try a poor man setup and try to start posting better photos.

    No number on the magazine.

    Hooked .....

    There's about $400 worth of lighting equipment there. Two lights, two stands, two soft boxes and a wireless trigger.

    Just like firearms ..... you can hunt with a Weatherby or a Savage rifle ..... the elk don't care! There's plenty of high priced photo lighting equipment that doesn't really outperform the bargain stuff. I've been turning these lights on every day for the last three years. The one in the background is 30+ years old too.

    AND ....... room to do it!! And, oh yeah, the white window shade from Home Depot
