Not mine. It looks to be correct and in really good shape, though not as nice as mine!

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.

It seems odd to me that they would picture it in the auction with the rear sight removed - don't understand why they would do that. If it's "all Winchester original," why show it as being "monkeyed with?" - Bob

Bob, that was the first thing I thought as well. It does look the part but that sight removal is hokey.

**imarangemaster** · 08-19-2013 10:56 AM

Ha! I missed that! It is strange, though.

**browningautorifle** · 08-19-2013 11:28 AM

I thought they were doing it so as to clearly reveal manufacturer and serial #...but, I wouldn't do it.

**Bill Hollinger** · 08-19-2013 12:24 PM

I bought an Underwood carbine years ago and the gun shop owner hammered the rear sight out so he could see the serial number. I was furious!

Hokey, I haven't heard that in a while. Showing your age there Bill.

Hopefully they hammered the sight off in the correct direction.

**Bruce McAskill** · 08-19-2013 03:55 PM

I see three problems with it to start. The hammer, the front sight and the repo safety.

**JimF4M1s (Deceased)** · 08-19-2013 04:43 PM

Agree with the WU hammer and front sight. Why do you say it is a repo safety?

**DaveHH** · 08-19-2013 07:17 PM

Photo#10 that sure doesn't look like a type two Winchester band. May be a cut down three as he's not showing the front and the sight has been off.
