    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 can. It has been sporterized. Complete stock replacement. Normal leaf backsight. No trace of a scope mounting. I fail to see the evidence that this ever was a sniper rifle. For me (not an Enfield expert, I just shoot them) this is a bog-standard sporterized Enfield. The starting price is a joke - it should have a couple of 00s knocked off. I may be wrong, and await enlightenment.

    These people are clearly on a different orbitory planet to the rest of us. Have you ever read such a load of sheer horse manure? But someone on that different orbitory planet will buy it, have no doubt!

    I sent the seller an e-mail asking him if the $20,000 starting bid was a typo or the actual starting bid. The response I rec'd was that the rifle is on consignment and the owner believes this to be the true value due to the history of the rifle. I hope it sells, it will make my collection worth millions!!

    I believe it's a Parker Hale conversion. I don't know about Churchill... They did three grades of them and this is the classyest one. While a nice rifle, it's worth about what Patrick stated...that would be a pretty good deal. This owner was obviously snagged by a fisherman.
