    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 ...

    It went cheap because only some of the parts were correct for assembly. Lots of replacements there. It could have been way more!

    I think you were lucky to get out. Almost $ 2000.00 for a rifle with only the barrel and receiver being correct. The op-rod is correct, rev. number wise, but it's been cut. No front sight seal. Think about how much the correct GHS stock and the flush nut sights will cost, not to mention all the other parts. I think you got out at the right time. Am I missing something here or am I that far behind in current prices ??

    The receiver has been annealed which would not be correct for an early 1941 restoration. The cost of a SA GHS stock, rear sight group, bolt, op rod gas cylinder etc would almost run between $1500 to $2000 and you still would have the annealed receiver
