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.

Hello

I think that we've been in contact in the past. I'm in Canada icon

, and growing up, it almost seemed that every WW1 vet had dragged back an 08/15. Sled-mounted O8's sprinked every Legion lawn (most just plunked into a bed of cement) and de-activation consisted of just breaking off the feed arm on the feedblock. I hauled all I could find home and then just called in to have them registered with the powers-that-be and nobody really cared. Times and certainly changed and now I'm a member of dwindling numbers of collectors who can still own FA.

Regards

Brian it is so sad that a lot of our Royal Legions are closing down, either side of the Atlantic, and the material so proudly owned by them is ending up in all sorts of places. I am a collector but also a custodian. I know you feel the same.
