    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 ...

    Wow! Heck of a service grade! And a great looking listing.
    How does one post so many pics? I listed a D last night and gunbroker only allowed me to upload 4 pics and list 4 more from a picture hosting site.

    Already at $4,890 with just under 24 hours to go. This should be interesting.

    I'm a bit frustrated that we expend so much time and effort researching and documenting the facts on these things in articles in the GCAicon Journal, then see them pop up as questions and theories on chat boards. If you don't think $25 is worth spending to learn the latest research, please don't tell us what you think, we don't care.

    Dang - $7k plus!!!! And I own two rifles that could be close clones of it!!!!

    Breeches on WRA barrels were not plugged, during parkerizing, like SA rifles were. The fact that the chamber is not bright is nothing to get concerned about without a closer inspection.
