    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 asked about it a few days ago, https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=47454&page=31 and messaged the seller. His response was prompt and cordial. He stated,
    "This rifle was part of a shipment of M85s imported by Navy Arms, and was imported by them in the condition you see here.* *It came with the Schmidt&Bender scope that is on it now.* It was scored from an employee of Navy Arms… All marks on the rifle are shown in the pictures…* And that's all we know on this particular unit."

    At some point it appears to have been restocked.

    To be honest that is about right £8,000+, bearing in mind it had the chest etc with it. Did anybody on this site manage to acquire this fine rifle?

    I was going to make a run at it but it quickly climbed higher than I felt comfortable going. Looks like an excellent example!!
