    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 ...

    LOL. Actually there was a oil drum and a piece of plywood acting as a table for the camera. The angle is fun and I'll certainly use it again on other projects.

    Thanks I was wondering if there was a convention and turns out there is. That's a quick fix.

    Good job. Make sure you put it on a sandbag and shoot a 1" paster at 25 yards. You'll know real quick if your forend is fitted correctly. Enjoy.

    I hope to take out to the large range on PEI and get it out to 300 yards but I'll get the bands in the right direction. I would be cool to get paper at 600 yards but I'm not that good of shot with open sights.
