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.

Parker Hale Empire mounts Mmmmmmm look exactly like the Field Instrument of Melbourne one i have on a No1 Mk3*. There is also the No4/No5 on my No5, the 7/8 on a Vore .22 plus some others in the spares compartment. None marked Parker Hale.

Thanks Gil for the info.

Looking through my PH product catalog it looks like the dovetails on the M87 were all milled into the receiver? But the M86 only has the front dovetailed and the rear is milled for PH5E/83 rear sight?

Edit to add I found this image online. It says it's an M87 and you can see screw holes in the rear base.

Nice scope on it with nice woodwork on the wrist and upper too.

So I did find a picture of a rear scope base but unfortunately it doesn't have any markings on it.
