    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Not aware of any "no-drill" mounting plates. Have some "drill & tap" bases of various types if that's your interest.

    Here are some pics of a central M17 base on an M17 with the ears removed, and on a P14 with ears in tact. The screws are not quite right to fit the P14, but it would not take much fitting to make them suit. Both bodies are Eddystone and there was a small difference in bolt release axis pin, and the rear fixing screw was csk on the inside of the M17 and the P14 not. As I said though just some minor fitting required.
