    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 ...

    Hindsight is 20/20 is it not? Perhaps in a few years $200/$300/$400 current millsurp prices will have appriciated a compariable %.

    Knowing what we know now about Deloreans, I might have picked a different car for a time-machine donor! Don't know if a Volvo motor has what it takes to even get to 88 mph for the Flux Capacitor to work!

    Tread carefully know your subject well the rifle you think is a BUBBA special may in fact not be. I have saved several rifles from this lack of knowledge.
    The Brits built many sporting rifles on actions that were not militry rifle actions even though they came from the same factory. The commercial makers also converted many military rifles to sporters as well because they had the actions. Some military rifles look like bubba specials because there may have not been many made or a newer model design happened along killing of the older model or that model was just dropped because of the problems of parts/repair/ simpler easier supply stanardization.
    I own and use ex military sporter rifles and will never rebuild them because they are a part of my history and my countrys history which i collect. I also collect military rifles.
    In 20+yrs you maybe called Bubba for turning a sporter into a non genuine bitsa looking milsurp.
