    Pattern 1913 .276 caliber rifles are 100 years old this year.

    Shown are three rifles from my collection. The bottom rifle has the longer "L marked" butt. They are not commonly encountered or the cartridges and stripper clips for that matter.

    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.

    Individual cartridges are scarce but seen fairly often, but the strippers, packets, and bandoliers are pretty rare. Then there are the rifles....!
    Very nice collection.
