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.

Nice! I guess that should go on the list of vacation spots to visit. From the looks of the pics, they are going to have to cuff and hog-tie me to get me out of the place!

Was it a guided tour or was it one of those you walk around at your own pace?

I'm only an hour north of the museum and have been there several times. It easily rivals the Smithsonian. These are the firearms that books are written about. This is also the birth place of the US firearms industry. Also housed here are the tools and machinery that that were used to create these firearms. If only the walls could speak. Truely a remarkable place. Anyone with even a remote interest in US history, will find this place absolutely jaw dropping!
