Finally connected on a 1949 Long Branch in Walnut, VG condition. I believe this one made a trip to Belgium icon

and back.

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.

Superb. What an insult those bloody stamped trigger guards were. I suppose they passed all the tests, but I can't stand the sight of them!

Very Nice! Who made the back sight? Is it LB Marked?

**Peter Laidler** · 09-06-2011 04:42 AM

I don't suppose that it came in the box that it's sat on did it?

You'll have to bring that to the Calgary show so we can fondle it. I'll bet the bore's so shiney it looks like chrome? Very clean looking!

Picked up 1950 LB last week, has slight abuse on the fwd handgaurd and also the serial No on the fore-end sanded out, and some **** has inserted a fitting for a bipod, apart from that not too bad.

The back sight is not LB marked, the prior owner switched it out, he provided it to me.

No, that is an orphan I found a couple of years ago. I am putting the kit back together piece by piece with an LB L42 Project. The REL is one of the MK3 scopes that was upgraded to L1A1 spec.

That is the most gorgeous L42 I've clapped eyes on

It is an LB L42 built from L42 parts on a 1943 LB action. Bit of a story behind this one...
