    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 ...

    John Holliger of White Oak Precision is one of the country's premier AR smiths and a competitior (of national fame) himself. His website is:

    White Oak Precision - Service Rifle Uppers

    He also does a superb job of re-barreling as well as tuning RRA triggers, pining rear sights etc.. and, he's a nice guy to talk to.

    PS

    Carl Bernosky won last year's NRA High Power rifle championship (2384 out of 2400) with a WOA match upper. That's a pretty good commercial in my book.

    I'd have to go with recommending White Oak Prec. here, have 1 of his service rifle RR AR's with a 1-7 Krieger, sight job,float tube & service rifle match trigger, if I could only convince HER, we would have 2 of his rifles in our safe.

    Get a WOA with the WIlson bbl. I guarantee you that it will outshoot YOU and the rest of us! No need to spend the big bucks on the Krieger, PacNor, etc.

    Yeah, might be a few bucks more than a RRA, but you will soon discover its worth it. Oh, and get the pinned rear sight while you are at it.

    I'd be interested in this also, and the cost. I likely missed it, but didn't see it on the web site.

    WOP's sights. he changed ours to 1/4" click, & they are VERY repeatable in settings. Write down your come up clicks for each range & windage too, with the White Oak sights, next time you need to shoot @ that range,with that load, it will work. Also make note of time of day, weather, sun, wind, mirage, it will help you.
