    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 ...

    The C/C looks suspect but the rest looks good to me.

    Agree with Bill and Stu. It would appear the NPM/FJA has been gone over, with the CC newly applied. The rear sight could be OK. JMHO.

    Front sight belongs on an early Underwood or Rock-Ola. Rear sight is suspect. The staking of the pin is wrong. CC is definately bad. Lots of good parts, but not particularly correct.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Front sight very well could be from a request for shipment from Rockola dated 7/30/43. The 3rd interchangeability test on 15 Aug 43 puts the serial number,barrel date and front sight request on a close relationship.

    Is this a case of one (or two) of those cartouche tools which have been recently auctioned off on GB?

    As long as the stamp is that far off from the real thing, we have little to worry about. To me, whatever value that carbine had, has now been lost by that one stamp.

    Some people are idiots.

    I agree that the REAL value is lost.... however, "those" carbines will still be auctioned off to the highest unknowing "gotta-have-a-gun-now" buyer. The market gets inflated, which encourages something to be faked again and more non-replaceable historic pieces will get destroyed. I can't wait until some unknowing buyer gets deliberately mislead into bidding more than $10,000 for a faked M1a1 Inland, then discovers it and charges are filed for fraud. I think $10K is the threshold in a lot of jurisdictions...
