    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 ...

    Thumbs up

    First of a few nice pieces this month...

    Australianicon Experimental SMLE NO 1 MK III Intermediate Length "Shortened & Lightened Rifle" Serial # XP53

    PROVENANCE: Stern Collection

    They only made 100 of these rifles with a special bayonet having a 10" blade with the standard Pattern 1907 hilt and grips. This bayonet was later adopted for the Owen Machine Carbine. The rifle has the rear sight installed on the back half of the stripper clip guide and has the front end of the rifle shortened to 20”, as well as lightening cuts in the stock.

    Reference "The Lee Enfield" by Skennertonicon (Page 347)

    Regards,
    Badger

    The Shortened and Lightened and the HT are my two dream LE's.

    By the way Badger, I am sure you already know, but on the rarer Australianicon made guns with coachwood stocks, there comes a point where purchase price is so high that shooting them and risking splitting the fragile stocks becomes too grievous a proposition.

    Thats a really interesting rifle Badger. I've often fanatasized about having a shortened SMLE, I never realized that they'd toyed with the same idea.
