    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 ...

    Hi Alan, nice piece of art, only one of your beautiful cottages is missing for the background. I like the british motorcycles. Restored a Vincent Black Shadow C - Series, with a friend a few years ago. Wonderful !

    John - Gotcha !!!!

    This is a 2002 model Royal Enfield, The Indians bought the name and tooling and have been in production for many years.
    Disc brake, electric start, indicators and all the 'gismos'. Spares - no problem.
    Sorry to dissapoint.

    No - but the No1 I built up from a Lithgowicon action that was FR'd (FTR) by Ishapore in '46. So they make a 'matched' pair.

    If referring to the WM20, 1942, green Not run for several years, just can't afford the insurance.

    The '08 Enfields come with a brain and EFI, no kick lever!





    Almost a crime.

    John do you have picture or a real BSA logo from say the early 60's or late 40's?

    Nice rifle Alan.
