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.

The HV mark indicates it is sighted for the MkVII "high velocity" rounds. Not having the mark just means the sights will be a little out in the range scale. Go ahead and enjoy-

just remember the range report and pics

Attachment 14967Did you check your front sight to see if it is one of the barleycorn variations ? if you BSA 1909 is without the HV or SC markings on the barrel, you might have the early front sight.
