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.

Is this a new toy Wheaty, or just for research ?

Wow. That must be from the .270, .280, .280/30 series of experimental rounds. Individual rounds are not uncommon, but I don't think you'll find too much original ammo in shooting quantities. Very nice.

Wheaty, Is the serial number 15T7049? The .280 example in the MOD pattern room is 15T7544, I'm just wondering if its 15T7549 and its just a bad pic of the number. The last Inglis I know of is 15T7593 but I'm not sure what cal this was.

We've got some .280! Fired some not 3 months ago at Shrivenham.......

Which variation of the .280 cartridge is this chambered for?

How much ammo are we talking about?

**jonnyc** · 02-10-2010 09:32 PM

Either .280 or .280/30 should chamber, only the extractor grooves are different.
