    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 ...

    I'd suggest getting someone like Brian Dickicon at BDLicon Ltd to do it for you. While it's possible to buy the tools and just do it, it's very easy to wreck a receiver. They can be frightfully tight. Also they are not always a breeze to index and breech up with the corrrect tension, to adjust this you will need a lathe. Here is an article on how to breech them up, and the thread contains how some pics of a barrel replacement happening.http://photos.imageevent.com/badgerd...ching%20Up.pdf

    I am going to send it to Brian I already email him. Looking at the the tools needed it is cheaper then doing it myself. some day I will get all the tools just I want to do it some day and I am going to find a job as machinist apprenticeship then moving on to gunsmithing.
