    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 ...

    Not a bad price.

    Ex Devon & Cornwall Police.
    I asked D&C Police (under the Freedom Of Information Act) what happened to their Enforcers and was told they were all guillotined.
    Thats three ex D&C Enforcers I now know off.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Alan, do you want to tell them their guillotine is broken?

    That is a very nice example of this underrated rifle. I wish I still had mine, but I might get another chance at another one day.

    Just shows what a complete farce the FoI Act is, and also the integrity of most UKicon Police forces....

    Alan, I believe this one also may be ex-D&C.

    Quite a few chopped rifles had their numbered woodsets, scopes and sights salvaged and sold off...... There are a few "phoenixes" out there....

    That's an interesting notion Thunderbox and AdeE. You might read my comment under the thread Enforcer renumbering by Cold Zero. Maybe this ought to be looked at in more depth especially if some of those now 'ghost' numbers now reside abroad. It's got me thinking.................... especially seeing Hal's dreadful engraving. As one who has used many TH panto engravers and made several cock-ups to boot, it looks as though the body has been continually slipping on the slide table.
