Old '03 Poster

Stole this photo off whatever auction it was on a while back. Nice internals. Not sure of the vintage, but I'm guessing 1918-20? Notice the "Finger Groove" reference.

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.

OK that is very cool, I would like to find a frameable print for the mancave.

There was someone who did drawings very similar to that above that showed a "layout" of an '03 (he did other firearms as well) in a poster form, but his name has escaped me. We used his poster on the '03 in a display at a gunshow a few years ago. Anyone remember?

http://www.nicholausassociates.com - as I remember. He reprinted all the US Weapon manuals, better than original in some cases.

I just checked. He has this exact poster, in color, for $17.50, should you want one. High Quality reproductions, too. CC

That's the one. I bought his '03 poster and it was excellent. Wish I had more room in my "man cave"!

That above link is wrong, a little research finds that it is: http://www.nicolausassociates.com/

Thanks, Tom! I just noticed my error (memory is a fragile thing sometimes!) and was about to correct it when I saw your post. CC
