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.

Do you mind if I just sit in the sock closet, quietly, by myself, and have a really good cry?

That critter is just incredible. I didn't think there were any that nice outside of museums.

Bore looks good, too. You'll have to give us a shooting report.

Congatulations on a FINE addtion to the family!

Any idea on the markings? Some those stamps are NOT familiar.

Mine does not count for a 1911 but it is pretty much correct except it needs a rear volly sight spoon and front stacking swivel. 1917---#2294.

Oh, yes, the one finger is broke off the wood that goes around the rear sight.

Nice shooter though considering the age.
