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.

Nice collection of dust collectors! Wish they could be shot

Nice stuff, Navyshooter.

Well, it's not a 1A1 or an L1A1 or a C1A1, but it is an FN FAL.

Stevo,

Any interest in trading a box of that C-21A1? (Makes a nice Canadian icon

accessory!)

Nice

Am I right in assuming the designations mean:
British icon

Australian icon

Canadian

?

Sure. Is it anything special or just run-of-the-mill ball?

1A1 is Indian

L1A1 designation was used by both the British and Australians. Judging by the SUIT sight that is a Brit L1A1.

C1A1 is Canadian.

My FAL is a Belgian built Israeli rifle. Originally select-fire.

Yes, it's a Brit (BSA) L1A1.

All 3 rifles are Semi-auto only. (I missed the CA window because I wasn't smart enough to buy one in time....I was offered 2, but as a starving student, I didn't take the guy up on them.)

The C-21A1 is regular ball ammo. I'm just now thinking about the shipping issue on the ammo though.

Tell ya what, I'll go looking local first, and get back to you?

I was wondering about the shipping. It would be way more than it's worth. I could always shoot a box and send the empty to you if you want a display item.

**NavyShooter** · 12-05-2008 08:26 AM

Stevo,

That'd probably work.

I have some C-21A1 in the old rubber bandoleers that I can put in it. Dates will be wrong, but the ammo would be right!
