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.

Indeed. Look at the 7th photo - the bullets have become partially discoloured by beginning corrosion. Less then perfect storage, I would guess, and save my money.

Got around to loading up the Mk 7's and cordite, got some good results too. Black outline are the Mk 7's the Red outline are 174g BTHP.

Some " tools " I used.

The first thing to do is seat the bullet a little deeper to break the crimp and sealing materiel.

Once the bullet is pulled you'll notice a cardboard filler. I used the paperclip to get under it an the tweezers to pull it.

Dump the cordite, now when your placing it in the new case, have the case mouth tilted downward so the cordite stays loose.

Gently ram it home with a WOODEN dowel.
Attachment 44397
Replace the cardboard plug and seat the bullet. Happy shooting...
