    my 1920 03

    It is a slow day so I thought I would try to post some old pics of my 1920 03. It is the second 03 that I acquired I got it in the mid 90s. I just started getting interested in 03s. I went to a local gun show and I found my local dealer had a table set up. I was pestering him about 03s and he looked up and said that guy walking through the show has one on his shoulder go see if he wants to sale it . So I did and he wanted $125 for it and I bought it. I think that it is pretty much original.

    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.

    Rice,
    Nice rifle! You have quite a catch there... even considering the prices in the 1990's I think it was steal!
    I love the upper handguards! I will be looking for a set soon!
    BTW, do you have the checkered buttplate... or smooth... just curious!
    Thanks for posting!

    Nice rifle - #1205868 was my "real" M1903. Bought it as a sporter and gradually restored it over the years.
