    have one that is Bulgarian M95. arsenal rework that is easily 98% after arsenal rework. my 15 yo loves this rifle. Shot some of the 1938 ammo, but keeping it as collector stuff.

    Bought 100 rds of Prvi fmj ammo to get the brass. Shot about 1/2 them. Have Lee dies. Graf has both 205 grn fmj and sp (205 gr also, iirc) bullets. Haven't decided on a load yet.

    I have thought about getting another one of these and setting it up as a mannlicher stocked sporter. they are only $100. think it would make a very neat carbine sized mannlicher rifle. and caliber should thump anything up to black bear out to 100 yds, and thinner/smaller game to 150 yds easy, depending on your (MY!) old eyes and sights used.

    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.
