    No.I Mk.V's?

    More questions. Are No.I Mk.V Lee Enfields common? What is a ball park figure as to price. Any critiques of these beautiful rifles?

    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 ...

    These rifles are not common. Remember, only 20 odd thousand were made over 80 years ago. There was a batch sold surplus in the 1960s. I have not seen one sell for a long time, so cannot advise you about value.

    Last one I saw sell in Canadaicon was about 5 years ago, mismatched bolt, went for about $500. They would bring more today.

    Well, we have an "all correct" beautiful one of these to prepare an entry to bring on-line in the MKLicon, it's just finding the time for the photography and supporting materials....

    I intended to work up a set of photos of mine and submit it here but if you have one I’ll hold of as your photography is of a much higher quality than mine. I will say that mine is in much better shape than the above example.

    This is the closest I've been to a MkV

    I wish I had one in my collection.

    Hi.here is a pic of my 1924 MK V.It is a "restored" example with replaced wood but all metal parts match and has all correct MKV parts,like rear site ,safety,mag cutoff and front band.It has an indian S/l\A mark.So I guess it was refurbished in Indian at some time,but no ishy screw.The stock is proofed in several places with S/40
    The person I bought this one from had another all origional one but was in rough shape and the price was higher.
    One of my favorite enfields!
