    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.

    It's probably worth $500 to $600 to someone to restore IF the bolt is the correct one. I have an original A4 stock and a new A3 4GR barrel,so I would be interested if you want to sell it.

    Because of the changes on the rifle I would put a value on it closer to $400.

    Barrel tapered? Presumably on the outside. So the barrel is now whippier than before. Not what I would call an improvement, rather an irreversible alteration. So even if you replace the woodwork etc, the barrel is still FUBAR. Or have I got it all wrong? Please enlighten me.

    A4

    To a military collecter it's only worth what ever the unmodified parts will sell for. I don't see any except maybe the receiver. So maybe $400.
