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.

Amen to that Frank...we have the same "politics" over here with returning injured vets.....at last the Help For Heroes charity has at last started to realise what "they gave" in theatre so that we might live in freedom.....the guys on the range in that bottom picture look right at home.

contributed $6,000 to help finance their Camp Perry trip last year, will likely do the same again this year. The program is limited to combat-wounded vets who want to get back to competitive shooting. They are referred by military hospitals. We are very proud to be part of it.

Having a son in the Marines I have to agree Frankie! I am so proud of all our young men and women for the service they provide for this great country!
