    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 ...

    Which numbers? Scope or rifle? 4 power scope with a 20 mm objective lens. Rifle made in June of '53... Is that an S&K scope mount? I had those before and they worked fine. We have a member here that uses on for his made up "T" and it works fine too.
    Regards, Jim

    The serial number sits in the 1951/2 era.
    I cannot read the words on the left of the receiver, can we have a better picture please?

    Looking through my research I have that serial number listed in this block:

    PF 219799 PF 275947 N/K 56,148 (N/K = Unknown customer)
