    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 ...

    This should clear up a lot of questions. Thanks.

    Just curious

    Jim, would you say that the most commonly encountered slides are type 4 and 5? Seems that way to me.

    Just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm the one who took the photos posted in this thread and posted them at the CMPicon forum CMP Forums - View Single Post - Slide Q in 2012.

    I also posted this at the end of that post

    I bought two slides just to make these pictures and put some time into taking and composing the shots so if you share them please give credit where credit is due. Thanks.
    but maybe that was overlooked.

    Very nice, but where is the National Postal Meter variant Type II with Type IV arm joint? Did this part have a part number (code?) designation? Also, do the E168 and E169 Type II slides differ only in the shape of the bolt cam recess? I can't see any other possible difference. Sorry, but I am not up to speed on the part number designations (i.e E168 - my improper nomenclature?).

    A lot of people here refer to these part numbers but I know they are not the US ordinance drawing numbers so a brief expalnation of where these numbers (E168, etc.) originate would be appreciated. I know this is a rube question but if I don't ask I'll never learn. Thanks, ChipS

    The slide classification comes from the Carbine Club. It isn't an official classification system but it is used by collectors. The criteria can be seen on the Carbine Club data sheet http://www.carbineclub.com/DataSheetrev31-1-11.pdf

    First letter: early (E) or late (L) cam shape
    First number: arm joint - type 1, 2, 3, 4
    Second number: rear of slide box - type 5, 6, 7
    Third number: internal cam cut shape - type 8, 9

    Milsurp Collector:

    Thank you very much for the explanation and the reference. I will now be better informed when parts are so described.

    To the Forum, I apologize for cluttering this sticky thread. I failed to remember where I was when I posted the question. ChipS
