    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 ...

    Are the scope and mount original to the rifle?

    I wish I had that kind of money.

    The parts are the original type Echo mount, the standard dovetail base, and the type 3 OIP scope as used in the Belgiumicon contract sniping rifles.

    I knew I had an action shot of this rifle somewhere. From the military rifle shoot in Quebec city earlier this fall, the GF using said rifle... After her dad's P14 was deemed unfit for service.

    Pretty sweet little setup!

    Thanks Diopter

    any Idea where I can get that type scope set-up for my SAFN? its a beater in 8 mm and I love it, I can get 2.5" if I do my part w/open sights. I would really love to put a near correct scope rig on it, M.T. SDH

    I got mine close to twenty years ago I think from Sarco or Century or both.

    These days
    Scope mount base:
    Optics

    PARTS
    FN Semi-Auto Rifle Model 1949

    Hunt on ebay whenever you can.


    Stay away from the S&K FN49 Mount. It was so bad It made me willing to spend what was needed to get the real thing.

    DaveGP from CGN built an excellent mount for the SAFN he rebarreled to 7.62 NATO. Uses the stock dovetails and worked very well.
