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.

Twin Cities ammo plant. 1956. Arden hills MN.

Should be non-corrosive by '56.

Probably repacked by an individual unless in bandoliers with accompanying stenciling indicating TW production in 5 rd. clips. Doubt they were making up new ammo for '03's in 1956. Should be good, safe, noncorrosive ammo.

is this the plant taken over by Federal Ammunition to manufacture their ammo after the gov't stopped production?

The plant is apparently closed and you can now tour around it. It appears to have been closed for some time.

The Denver plant is closed too. They marked their brass "DEN". It is now Federal Government Office buildings.
