    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 ...

    Have you checked the area of the receiver where the bolt locks up when it's forward. Where the back side of the lugs sits against the receiver. Is there any Duracoat in there? If so remove it. It maybe slowing the bolt down not allowing it to lock up properly. The other may be the recoil spring. Do you still have the original? If so replace the new Wolff spring with the original as some Wolff recoil springs are known to create problems. The so called Hi-speed ones are not very good.
