    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 ...

    The last time I saw a muzzle cover for an M14icon it was on board the USS Alamo in 78 or so. I don't think they made it out into the collectors world.

    Look at that picture close fellas. I don't think that is a muzzle cover. I think the photo was doctored. The slots can be seen quite clearly and there is too sharp of a line from barrel to "alleged cover" for the graininess of the rest of the picture.

    Protector, muzzle 7790231

    Bill H., the plastic protector is a clear plastic and you can see the slots of the suppressor when installed on the rifle. The photo gives the impression that the protector is white
