    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 ...

    U.S. 30-'06 150gr flat-based cupro-nickel jacketed(silver colored) bullets w/ nominal velocity of 2700fps.

    U.S. M2 ball (adopted 1940) much the same except gilding metal jackets on the bullets (copper color).

    ETA U.S. M1icon ball (Post- WWI circa 1926) 172gr boat tail gilding metal bullet jacket. Sights for '03's and m1917's aren't calibrated for these rounds.

    I can add that the propellant was something called "Pyro-Cellulose" which was a primitive single base Nitro-Cellulose powder. Possibly the "MR" power which later became IMR or a fore runner.
