    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 ...

    Looks quite convincing doesn't it? Non-existent eye-relief is the problem of course.

    A telescopic sight to fit the Bren Gun Mk1. I don't know anything of it's origins as i bought it off a flea market, but it fit's my Mk1 Bren nicely(just needs a shim of paper to make it tight) and it's a military sight and mount. The mount is adjustable for elevation by means of a large wheel. The sight has turrets for elevation and windage. There is a dovetail to the rear of the sight which is the same dimensions as the dovetail on the rear of the drum sight on the Bren. Mounts in both dovetails, but better in the rear one for eye relief. Rubber eye piece/ sunshade.The optics are in perfect condition. A nice piece of kit for the Bren enthusiast.
    Bren is just for reference to show the sight in mounted position and is not part of the auction.UKicon buyers only please.
    Seller: eject_eject! Location: Stoke-on-Trent, UK (Home of Morgan Cars ) Sold for $150.
