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.

There were some early LB serially numbered L4A1's still doing the rounds in the mid to late 80's. The old RAPC Depot at Winchester still had them together with some L2A2 Sterlings. I remember them because their parent workshop got a couple of the special ejector blocks from Ord for them.

Hey Kev,

Have a look at this:

Bren Gun L4 LMG Machine Gun for sale | GunStar.

I thought it was a SA Bren, but they guy selling it says it's an L4.

Cheers!

It's an Ex South African Army conversion I think. There are quite few of them appearing on the Deact Circuit at present!

**Kev G** · 08-21-2010 08:00 AM

Yes as tankhunter says an SA conversion,the seller tries to cover himself rather losely by saying "guns of this type".

**Brit plumber** · 08-21-2010 10:57 AM

That gun came from DandB originally, Its amazing how many of these guns are moved around dealers. I loked over 3 DD Enfields at a local dealer (They were sold to a collector supposedly) and low and behold 1 week later they were on another site with a nice profit of £100 each. This is the sort of thing you notice when you make notes of serial numbers.
