    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.

    What you have is a typical rebuilt carbine. The recoil plate with the W was made by Winchester and the barrel was made by Inland. The serial number can tell us who the receiver was made by and when it was made. Look in the sling well of the stock for any markings.

    I've seen imported junk M1icon carbines time and time again at gunshows with a $500 price tag. Your carbine looks great. Depending on many factors such as MW, TE, shootability (does it shoot?), I'd venture a value from $600 to $800.

    Nice looking carbine

    I agree with tmark...Value somewhere between $600 and $800.00 assuming good barrel etc.
