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.

Such a sad story. I heard and have not been able to confirm the shooter was taken out with a airstike.

RIP lads.

Yes unfortunately the weapon of choice for the bad guys is not always the state of the art rocket launcher, our boys are constantly finding old smles and no4s and mausers in caches all the time. The other unfortunate thing is that these weapons will out distance most of our small arms by a good 600m or more, but the old paper scissors air strike works every time. RIP to our brave and courageuos fighting men.
