    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 ...

    After the old Sterlings were finally withdrawn in the late 90's I had a load of magazines still wrapped like that.

    So, who had these in stores? The SA80 appeared two decades before and wasn't it supposed to replace everything between pistol and belt-fed.

    There is a gent on one of the MG sites I go to, that said he got 2 of those NIB with consecutive serial #. He said that he was going to shoot one and put the other in a safe. He said he was going to shoot one with his son and would be passing that one on to him.
    I asked if he wanted to adopt me!!!!!!!!

    Phil, I'd just suggest that he put BOTH in his safe and treat him and hios son to a day out shooting the shxx out of someone elses. The money he spends shooting someone elses will be MORE than recouped whern he comes to sell two new, still wrapped consecutively numbered L2's
