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.

Every Rock-Ola barrel I've seen was undated

**Ablationman** · 10-01-2012 04:48 PM

Picture 10 shows a barrel date looks like 1-43

It might just be me but if I was going to sell a carbine such as this, I would take a detailed and quality set of photographs. These photographs are horrible at best. The old story of "it's not my camera", "my wife has the good camera", "my dog ate my camera" are all just a load of malarkey. Poor quality photographs are an easy way to hide details you don't want seen. Even cell phones take better pictures than these.

So do you think he is selling museum pieces? Like excess stuff? Maybe to help fund the museum? Curator huh? Now I think even less the photographs. He should now better. There are some interesting pieces he has for sure

"Registered" has no meaning in relation to the Carbine Club. The owner may have sent in a data sheet, just like many thousands of others. It proves nothing more than that he can lick a stamp, yet he says it at least twice (my eyes gave up on the acre of all caps). I must be special since I'm "registered" in the phone book.

Well it ended unsold.

Maybe his museum does need funds. It says non profit.

Asked and received a good photo of the barrel date.
