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.

If you find one it will be luck. There was one floating around at a few MI gun shows awhile back but was finaly sold. It had a 33/40 German icon

bolt in it.

Thanks Dave, that's probably why She is so desperate1

Very uncommon gun. Not many made, just for starters and then a thing called World War Two came along. Just not many around. I have heard there are some in Uruguay in 7mm. I have no idea if that lot will ever get sold.

they were imported back in the hayday of surplus rifles, 50's & 60's. S&D Book Store had them in 12-68 for 30 bucks, for instance. Hunters Lodge had them in May 66 for 45 bucks. I think many of these were sportered, as many milsups were back then and the rest just dried up into collections. (like mine)!

I got a nice Kar 98a, Gew33/40 and other toys from S&D Bookstore. I finally met them at a gunshow on the east coast years later. Good guys.

I was at the shop once on a trip east. He was selling 33/40 actions for 25 bucks. Turned out they were complete rifles. I got several for myself and friends. Had a couple cases of them, just loose in the case. I had my pick. None had matched bolts, of course. He sold Hungarian icon

35's and 43's as well as the 98/40's. Greek Mann. rifles and carbines, and on and on, man what a candy store! I just didn't have the money then for all those goodies. But they are around ---somewhere! I have a scrap book of all those old Rifleman ads, or most of them.
