    Dearth of British SMLE's or rather No1 MkIII(*)'s

    I've only had this Enfield disease for a year or so now (No cure in sight) but have noticed, or think I have noticed, that Britishicon made No1 MkIII(*)'s seem to be increasingly hard to find.
    Is this the case or is it a seasonal thing?.
    I was unable to make the Phoenix at Bisley recently; perhaps there were many on sale.
    A few Lithgows seem to be available but I already have one of those and was hoping to find a BSA!.

    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 ...

    Hi

    They are around (pm sent) - seem to be a lot apparently sent for deactivation though, which is a shame.

    Kind regards
    Mike
