    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 ...

    Nice and welcome to the most addictive line of military rifles. Lee Enfields are so varied and interesting and I always see some nice ones I would like south of the border.

    Check out what Brian Dickicon of BDLicon has to offer, I see a couple I would like and only the pain of importing stops me. His prices are very good and here in Canadaicon Lee Enfields are going up in value on a very regular basis.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

  7. Thank You to enfield303t For This Useful Post:

    thanks, yes very addictive. i collect enfields when they show up around here and really want a (T). i have started talking to brian at BDLicon to get a (t). i also am very heavy in too modern remington bolt guns for accuracy and distance shooting with bull barrels.

    If that is a Long Branch MkI "button" cocking piece on your Long Branch you might want to strip the paint off and put it away; they're worth a pretty penny now.

    it is...alot easier to cock and that rifle is a shooter, 400 yards is no problem for it.
