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.

Paul, nice display. Did you make the racks holding the carbines? Am interested in how they are constructed but couldn't get a close up to tell. Any way you can email, or post, a closeup of them.
I'm doing a show in Feb and would like to make a better rack than I've been using.

Yes I had them made by a friend who did woodworking. I designed them and him and I experimented with different heights and depths till we perfected the perfect design. It is reletively easy with the deminsions. I will call you and measure the demensions and send you pics. I do have a patent on them LOL! My email is m1cc@msn.com so send me a number and I will call you.

Looks like quite a display!! Any chance of you bringing it to OGCA in May?

I didn't know there was a perfect design?

That is what happens when you respond to a post at 1 a.m. in the morning. mpd1978 I did OGCA twice once in their display show and once as their featured guest did you attend either of those? JimFM1 quit picking on me I'm fragile! LOL

Sure, Paul... Next you will tell us you are recovering from heart problems....

Oh, and speaking of almost dying, have you corrected your will to reflect me getting your collection yet?

**mpd1978** · 12-15-2010 11:01 PM

Must have missed those two shows. I usually miss several of the OGCAs during the year, which sucks because it is a great show

mpd1978 if I did decide to display at the OGCA in May 7&8 2011 would you attend? It is a 1000 mile round trip for me how far of a drive is it for you?
