    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 ...

    Surely only for aiming practice, or display?
    And it wouldn't fit in the car boot anyway. So thanks for the offer, I'll leave it.

    We used them for aiming practice. You could have the student set his rifle on the target and you could have him step away to prove he was right or wrong. Point of aim, aiming off, aiming up and down...

    Yes That´s what we used them for. But might well be very useful on the range.

    Here's an old thread with lots of pics of my Canadianicon version ....

    SMLE Craddle Arm, WWI on GB

    Everyone might want to try our Google CSE custom search engine located in the top right corner below the words "Advanced Search". It only searches our site using Google techniques and can be quite efficient. For example, in your case, type in the words alming rest and see what happens. Perhaps try other phrases as well.

    I checked and there are several old posts…

    Regards,
    Doug

    Er, so it's a kind of SMLE with wierd grasping grooves and MKV tendencies. Did I miss something?

    Oh, and with a bayonet that looks as if it might be good for chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

    OK, I haven't a clue - tell me!

    The rifle is a Lithgowicon experimental Shortened and Lightened, 100 made. The machete bayonet has bakerlite grips not wood sort of in the chooks teeth realm.
    Did you miss something naa not much just a couple of Aussie things worth between 10k and 15k on a quiet day.

  13. Thank You to Bindi2 For This Useful Post:
