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.

Windage adjustable rear sights were one of the features deleted when the SMLE MkIII (No1 MkIII) was replaced by the SMLE MkIII*. All of the early model .22 trainers were conversions mostly from obsolete .303 models and some retained features from the original rifle. It would be unusual for the windage adjustable sight on a trainer not to be "staked". Some were drilled and had a pin scotch keyed to lock the adjustment, others were centre-punched underneath to lock the windage screw. Either way, check yours out carefully as winding the dial will damage something if it has been staked.

Checked it out and it turns freely.
