    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 ...

    Save your money. You'd be better off looking for an old heap of a No32 and having it rebuilt. Just my 2c's worth

    I tend to agree with Peter. I guess the repro's have a place perhaps if you want to put a T lookalike together maybe for Living History re-enactments or similar; but if you've managed to acquire a genuine rifle then surely it's worth saving that little bit longer to get a genuine scope for it? And will the repro scopes appreciate in value? I don't know....but the real ones will. Again, just my take on things. Each to his/her own......

    WeaverK3

    In the meantime, if you just want to shoot, a Weaver K3 fits the bracket, looks right, and can be found for $100.00. I've just put one on my Savage No.4 Mk1*T (fake) and will be testing it soon.

    That 2/1 looks a beaut & it is a rare beast, made by UIC. However, whilst there's pretty much no such thing as a 'cheap' No32 these days, they aren't all as expensive as that. I recently picked up a very nice HBMCo Mk1 in need of some minor playing with, for the equivalent of about 600 dollars. Not cheap, but not outrageous for what it is.

    If you want a repro, contact Warren on this board. I recently got an REL-marked Mk II from him for WWII reenacting.
