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.

Any of the 1903 variants.

My Garand, M1 icon

carbines, Mauser, etc, are great fun too, and interesting, but I love shooting 1903's. They have a particular mystic, and they function so well to me.

I have M1903, M1 icon

Garand, and an M1 carbine. All are fun to shoot. When I was a kid, I had a chance to shoot a BAR with my Dad. Haven't had the chance since but I would love to own one from that one experience. They're just a little too pricy now and the semiauto versions just don't appeal to me. With what they go for now, I'd have to hit the lotto.

At least you got to shoot one once Jim! What a treat!

(I'm waiting on the lotto too)

I used to favor the M1 icon

Garand, but, would have to edge it out for my SVT40 Sniper, a little quicker for me to reload and connect with what ever is downrange. Mine was overhauled soup to nuts and I don't get the issues the other fellows seem to have with there SVT's. I could feed it the cat and it would fire it!-SDH

I really enjoy shooting all the US and British icon

rifles of WWI and WWII, but I have to say my favorite of all is my 1941 Johnson. Very accurate and fun to shoot. Maybe I like it so much because it is unique in my collection. Its the only thing that I only have one of.
