    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Looks like a nice, solid rifle. I remember the auction. I had it saved, and was keeping up with it. A good buy.

    Has a Remington bolt. Now if I can just find a Springfield NS bolt I'll be set.

    Hi LeagleEagle,

    Nice 03!

    Did you get bitten by the 1903 bug recently, or are you returning to an old addiction?
    (They ARE addictive aren't they?)

    I like M1icon carbines too, but there's something about 03's...

    I believe there are a couple of NS bolts for sale on Gunbroker - don't remember price or condition, though.
