My poor choice of words- by original I meant thst It wad finished as it was when I got it from the importer, did nothing to it..

I understand now. Thats seems much more realistic. Nice rifle though

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.

I, too, am now a new member of the '46 M44 club. Ironically, my rifle carries a S/N that is ~ 2500 before yours with the same alpha characters before it. Pretty cool!

I suppose I need to fill the gap with a 1946. 1944/1945/1947 in inventory. Nice rifles and a Blast to shoot. Pun intended.

Not sure if you refering to me. If so the 1945 is the only one of the lot I have fired and I have not fired it for accuracy assesment yet , just function and fireball.

Shot the 1944 M44 this weekend. The bolt is a bit stickey upon closing and I need to bench for accuracy but the fired brass looks good and shooting at dusk my friends liked the muzzle flash.
