    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 ...

    Thank you sir! This information will be permanently kept with the pistol.

    Again, I can not stress the importance and convenience your website has afforded me with many detailed photos of several original 1939 Navy's in this purchase of a lifetime.

    All of your efforts are greatly appreciated.

    Best regards,

    David

    Broke it down for a detailed strip and almost could not budge the MSH. Lots of dried oil and or grease making it very sticky. Finally got some cloud cover and here's a coulple of parting shots. Though my photography skills are not the best. Thanks to all for the kind comments.

    Wow! Very nice. I'm guessing shipped in the second shipment. It looks identical to mine only better condition. Do you have one of the other side? Thanks for sharing!

    Also curious if you have any additional history other than the original shipment? Hope to one day find out where 714007 served.

    For a long time my "dream .45" was an M1911A1 pictured in one of the reprinted .45 user's manuals. The S/N was 710017, and as I recall save for later plastic grips it looked like it could have been original. I wonder if that pistol still exists somewhere....
