    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.

    Scope recommendation

    Griff,

    Very sorry. It posted twice yesterday and I must have deleted them both. My bad.

    The rifle is a very nice 5 digit SN M1Aicon all original. I will be just shooting for pleasure on a private range from 100 to 200 yards. These old eyes often need some help.

    Would like something I can take on and off fairly easily to shoot open sights if I want. Hopefully, putting on and off should not affect aim point, if that is possible. Am thinking about a Springfield GI 3rd generation mount. Don't know about the rings.

    The the military ever adopt a scope for the M1A (M14)? Would be neat to config it as intended.

    Thanks very much for your input.
    Reed

    I have had very good luck with the Basset mount made in Dripping Springs, Texas, after previously bad luck with the SA Gen III mount (hard to take on and off; gotta dismount clip guide. Also you need the Blackhawk nylon stock comb add-on - laces up, easy to get on and off. Scopes, take your pick. Any 4 X will do. Just google it Basset has a good website.
