    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. Brian Dick ...

    Looks like what would happen if a Japaneseicon LMG mated with a MAS 36, sort of.

    Looks like the rifle that a marketing committee developed after holding a focus group.

    Looks like an interesting and adaptive use of a surplus receiver.(Had it been british, I might have looked twice.)

    I have dealt with this seller and will probably see him and this "thing" at a show this weekend. Who knows, maybe I will buy it and send it to you for Christmas this year instead of a lump of coal!!

    Bugly is an apt discription.

    On a practical note, I think you would have to have a 2 foot long head just to achieve a sight picture with a proper cheek weld as high as the scope is above the stock comb.
