    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 ...

    The S.U.I.T. optics also work great, but you have to get a genuine dustcover mount (rare) or strengthen the readily available and weak 'aftermarket' mounts that have aluminum rivets.

    SUIT sight........ Stand for Shooter Usually (or Undoubtedly or Undeniably) In Trouble. They were a load of pure cxxx. Or, rather, the mounting system on the sight was. That's from the horses mouth!

    The SUIT sight never impressed me. I understand why the sight post came down from the top to acommodate the illuminating element, but damn, it had a bl**dy big, fat post! The sight post always seemed arse-up to me as well.

    The reason it came down from the top was so that it wouldn't obscure the image/target. Good theory but if it was THAT good an idea, we often asked why they reversed it for the SUSAT sight - where it reverted to the norm!

    Yep....... absolute crap! Although to be honest, the actual sighting part was OK, it was the flimsy mounting system. I used to keep the broken off top sighting part of one tied to a bit of string in my pouches to use as a shortie prismatic telescope - less the graticle which I snapped off internally. That was it's GOOD side. The even better side was that I loaned it to someone one day and luckily, forgot who it was! Instead, got a one-way-trip x3 trijicon off an N-Law anti-tank missile tube. Best thing I ever had!
