    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 ...

Here at T-bones Shipwrighting we specialise in vintage service rifle: re-barrelling, bedding, repairs, modifications and accurizing.

    I've really never paid much attention to specific makers, as long as they're USGI mags. Haven't really kept up with the current mfg, aside from SAInc's. Their mags seem a bit roughly finished, but otherwise servicable. Checkmate seems to have a good reputation. The old Thermold polymer M14icon mags have never worked all that well for me.

    I use either USGI or the Checkmate CMI (stated to be current USGI contract). Both work great.
    44mag.com has regular deals on the CMI mags. I have only used 20rd mags not the 30 so can't speak to that.
