    Not sure how to post pics but here is a link. The rifle turned up in NM.. a collector friend bought it and I did a deal with him. It is truly a great rifle.. Dave McClain commented one of the nicest he’s seen..

    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 ...

    Thank you!

    I’ve been asked about the bracket being un-serialized. Per the GCAicon (Garandicon Collectors Association) the first @1400 M1C’s did not have brackets which were serialized. The thought on this is the brackets were never meant to be removed.. hence there was no thought to serializing them. My C is an early rifle with original finish and has never had its bracket removed. So no serialization is 100% correct and original

    Once the issues with heat treating and accuracy were discovered the later C’s had brackets which were serialized. WW2 serialization will be on the bottom of the bracket. Post WW2 on the side.

    Also Ricky B has previously verified the stock stamps as original.

    I’m constantly looking for the original serialized mount. It would be super cool to reunite the two!

    Thanks again

    Very nice... I also have one of the first 1,000 M1C made with the original unmarked bracket, also in nice shape.... 32519XX. K-line, flashider, G&H Mount but no original M81/82 scope. That is an exceptional rifle and especially the scope... about the nicest I've ever seen.
