    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 ...

    As for telling me - or ANY of us - about firing full-load No5 rifles.......... Jeeeees, Groups of 3 or 4 of us Armourers fired hundreds of them and No4's all day, day in and day out range testing/re-zeroing them after being FTR'd prior to return and put back into Ordnance stocks. AND not even wearing shirts (or just cotton khaki green shirts as was the norn in the tropics). Just rolled up woollen socks on our elbows to prevent what we called 'nappy rash'............

    boy, this thread took a life of it's own!!!

    right now the rifle is sitting like in the pic above. saving for scope and mounts. selling some of my enfields to build a competition rifle at the moment. but keeping the one above and my T with repro scope.
