    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.

    Hi to all,
    I am new to milsurps in general and recently took a deep interest in the LEC 1
    carbines. I have picked up two recently and both have had the top wood , nose cap and barrel band removed and the forearm shortened and one has had the butt stock refigured .
    My hopes are to restore these two to as original as possible. I have so far located and ordered top wood so now need nose caps , barrel bands , butt stocks and forearms.

    Any help in locating these parts is greatly appreciated.

    GREETINGS!!!

    Good Morning all!,

    Finally getting around to introducing myself. Have lurked for awhile. Been picking up shiny shooters that caught my eye for 30 years... Have had my C&R for about 15 years now, but not a serious collector. I pick up the variety based on ability to shoot them. I have odds and ends from CZ handguns (50, 52, 75,82) to an 03A3 and a N0 4 MK1. P38 and Nagant to SKS and Garandicon and others. Just a general mix that are fun and enjoyable.

    I am the Range Master at a govt. facility in Texas and get to enjoy my hobby at work as well as home. Not a gunsmith, but pretty handy and tinker with my own shooters keeping them running.

    Glad to be here, and look forward to learning and sharing.

    Steve

    Searching and send never findng

    Greetings to all. My new member post will start out with a message of hope: I hope that, after interminable hours of searching the numerous websites dedicated to the Enfield Rifleicon I've finally found the right one.

    A little about me: I grew up in the deep south, on the banks of the Mississippi River. My introduction to firearms was guided by my father and began with BB guns and learning shooting in our backyard. My brother and I progressed from there to single shot, bolt-action, short/long/long rifle Mossbergs, single shot H&R's and my first semi-auto .22, a Winchester 190 given to me as a Christmas present in 1973. I still have it and it is as much fun to shoot now as it was at 17.

    4 years in the Army with the 82d Airborne Division gave me a greater understanding of how a firearm becomes a weapon and instilled a higher level of respect for the instrument that, until that time, had not been much more than a regular and normal part of our life in the south.

    Fast-forward to now.After many years of dormancy, my interest in firearms has been rekindled. It happened in an unexpected way and the instrument was an 1897 Lee Enfield No1 made by London Small Arms, modified in 1903 to No1* CLLE. The first time I held this beautifully made rifle I had no idea what any of that meant, no idea that the sporterized military stock and butt were one of the reasons this rifle had sat unmolested in the shop for so long. All I knew was that I held a piece of history and that I had to own this rifle. Sort-story-long, I do own this rifle. The finish is not remarkable, the military furniture has been altered but not to the point that it disguises the fact that this was once actually a military firearm. I do not want to restore it to its military guise, I want to keep it as it is, a functioning testimony to the skill and craftsmanship that brought it into this world 122 years ago. And, yes, it still shoots straight and true, putting the first 40 rounds down range about 2 weeks ago and wearing out a 12*14 steel plate at 100 yards.

    With all that said the only thing I really want to know is what someone can tell me about this rifles lineage and history, through its modification from No 1, to CLLE to No 1*. once I'm able to nail down even a portion of that I'll be happy.

    Thanks for having me as a member and reading through this wordy and lengthy narrative.
