    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 ...

    I know the seller from myMooseJaw days....don't blame him for the feeding frenzy that seems to be starting on these things. It's too bad he has to throw the word sniper into the title...these boxes seem to be selling well enough on their own these days that there is no need to misrepresent them.
    Amazing that guys from Italyicon or Australiaicon would consider shipping these things half way around the world.

    I'll have to keep an eye on these....if they don't see bids I could always buy them and pick them up to save shipping. MJ is about a 4 hour drive for me, and it's nice to see some of the sights again.

    Hi All,

    It looks like the world is going crazy with the Enfield Sniper stuff. Not only these CNo 7 boxes (which are 2 inches lower in hight than the Chest No15, so the scopecan can be stored too) but also the repro Mk1 and 2 scope adjustment tools, repro scopemounts are going to the roof.
    It sounds to me there are an lot of people out there with lots of money but lacking the knowledge what is correct and not. I would be disapointed if I bought something that turned out to be an repro or something that looks like the real deal but isn't (such as the CNo 7 chest).

    I hope the sellers don't only go for the money but also take thier responsabilety to correct an misrepresented item.

    At least he mentions in the ad that the cases are similar, but not exaclty like the Sniper chest. I have seen way too many sellers on ebay pull the line about these chests being used by the Canadianicon Forces when the sniper chests were in short supply. The Cno7 chests sell well enough on their own these days, there is really no need to even use the word sniper in the title.
    Mind you, one dishonest seller (from the Winnipeg area it turns out) recently sold a Cno7 chest which was modified to sniper size, and got $700 or $800 for it, plus the buyer was in Europe if I recall, so paid dearly for the shipping too.
