    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 ...

    I have acquired what seems to be a rare 1943 Long Branch Enfield No.4 Mk.1 cal .303 "Jungle Carbine" in pristine 100% condition, never issued, never fired! It is totally beautiful, no marks of any kind. Only the leather sling is showing age. But, I find zero info on such a rifle! Everything I read says "Jungle Carbines" were all Engield No.5 ? But I got a 1943 No.4 with 20.75" barrel tip to cartridge end, 40" overall, flash arrestor, dog ears on front sights, and rubber insert in butt plate. How can this be??? Help appreciated. NETexan

    This would probably be better in a thread of its own, but the short answer is that you have a No.4 rifle that has been modified to replicate a no.5 rifle. No.5 "Jungle Carbines" were not even produced before 1944.

    Acording to Stratton, several thousand extra actions were made between 1942 & 1944. Many of these ended up with unit armourers who made up whatever came to mind. I had a 1944 LB Jungle Carbine in .22 cal. and have another with a target rifle stock that most likely had similar origins.
