    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.

    The Open box SA means that the rifle was rebuilt at Springfield Armory and the F is believed to be the inspector...hth

    markings/stamps on the pistol grip

    Any markings or stamps on the pistol grip ?

    I think the larger RA-P is early WW2

    Might it be "SA" over "R", with the right side of the "R" incomplete? Springfield rebuild from what I understand, but I could be altogether wrong, too!

    rebuild stamps

    This long channel SA GHS stock has the open box and RIA stamp, double proof and the RA-P on the pistol grip. It is without the pad screw holes.

    Ria eb

    Wow, a real one! I'm so used to seeing that stamp on WARDORs that I'm immediately suspicious
    Real men measure once and cut.

    another RIA EB

    Never know what you will find, this Winchester WRA WB stock has the RIA EB on the butt yet still has the no-trap buttplate. Looks like they were starting to correct the buttplate modification ! There are two P proofs too.
