    JM,

    Am looking for basic info on feeding and care of it. Proper cartridge insertion, etc ...

    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. Brian Dick ...

    New thread please for the 1899!


    I'll start one now with what photos that are already on file. It ought not really be in the "Other U.S. Service Rifles" forum, as it is more readily classed as a Cuban milsurp, but for ease of cross reference it'll start on this forum. (Does Michigan "National Guard" count as US "military"?

    Some more linkage:

    A 2009 thread that included what may have been my first very primitive but enthusiastic range report:

    "Yee Blxxdy Ha!

    Shot the 1879 45-70 US Navy Lee this morning! (PMC brass 405 gr lead bullet)

    Impressions:

    SMOOOOOOTH action (maybe moreso than a well used SMLE)

    Crisp single stage trigger

    Sights OK but it shoots about 6" right at 100yd 3-4" 5-shot groups. No 200yd or more yet.

    Bolt handle not too far forward.

    FUN (Did I mention smooth action? Its also really fast cycling!)

    !!!!!! More later"

    Link to that ancient-ness (The impressions cited above haven't changed, BTW ):

    "Pre" topic question- Remington Lees

    And the real reason for this post- Photos of the very first type of Lee box magazine with possibly more to come!:

    1879 Remington Lee ...need a part
