    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.

    Newbie w/a few questions

    I would talk to Brian Dickicon, people say the Fultons no drill brackets are the best of its kind.

    I think the Armalon is probably the best design yet. You can take it off the rifle without taking the scope off the base, unlike the S&K and I believe the Fulton's.

    Nothing wrong with your rifle BTW. It's already collectible and highly usable.

    I don't think it's a sante fe. Looks to me like it could be a genuine No.5 hence the request for more pics.

    It's not a genuine No.5 from what I can see. Flash hider is a repro IMO. Likewise handguard. Nice handy little rifle though. Would be nice to see some closeups of the mag as it looks better formed than those Parker Hale made in Japanicon jobs. Any markings on it?
