I had trouble getting in my vault so I pulled a chest out and and checked out the contents. I thought I would share this beauty.

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.

Great looking rifle thanks for sharing

Is the look of the finish on the receiver here due to the high temperature then oil dip ?

**browningautorifle** · 09-20-2018 11:26 PM

No it was a process trade named as "Brunofixing".

similar to almost a textured Parkerizing.

Lee Enfield, Interesting! Was that process used along with high heat/oil treatment? Or was brunofixing specific for surface corrosion?

Very nice, they come little better than that one. You tend to see the brunofixing on later 44, & 45 dated rifles.

It's almost as though the Bronofix process was a Holland and Holland thing. I had never heard of it before I went to H&H and nobody there knew how the process worked. Never(?) heard of it since - except in relation to H&H ad No4T's.
