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.

Yes, as above it's true.

The receivers were subcontracted to Singer. Underwoods with Singer receivers usually sell for a premium.

Roughly serial numbers 2,630,000 to 2,655,000 (25,000) were B coded made by Singer Manufacturing Co.
I believe some have been found out of that range.
I don't know if all the receivers were supplied.

"The Postman" on the CMP icon

forum is collecting S/Ns from members for a database.
Quite a few of us have Singers above the assigned range.
