    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 ...

    ... Because you swapped those real rifles for bits of paper with imaginary values printed on them!

    Keep those bits of paper for 5 years, and then see how many rifles you can get for them!

    I doubt I could have done it. I think I have every gun I've ever owned in my life with the exception of one, my first, a Glenfield 22. And you know what? I regret selling that one and it wasn't all that nice.

    I'm considering selling a few now however as my interests have changed and space is becoming a consideration. Just can't quite bring myself to do it.

    Remembered a second gun, a Winchester Ranger shotgun in 12 gauge. I hated that one though so it wasn't hard to give up. Wasn't too hard to forget either. It simply did not "fit" me well and I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. Some guns are just "there" and this one never was.

    I'd love to have a nice Finn Mosin, never even seen one, just heard about them. And you're selling them in your yard? Jeeze.

    Wish I'd been next door for your sale. The #4 rifle in your picture is a real beauty.
    Don't blame you for avoiding shipping issues, but if you change your mind.....

    Best of luck.

    Patric do think this is easy for me? Did you for one moment put your self in my shoes? I very well might not be here in five years and my family has needs today.
