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.

Get a chance to fire it yet??

**kar98k** · 09-13-2013 10:57 AM

not yet. only ammo i have is steel cased. indoor ranges don't like that stuff. waiting until they open up public land for shooting here in Phx. (fire hazards in effect currently). so, for now, i have it resting in a shadow box:

No import mark.? Wasn't refurbed either, nice piece
Just noticed both have no import mark, mine is pretty much ruined by a giant one which the monkeys stamped over the Russian icon

I have them a lot using relaods of a 100gr. plated wadcutter over 4grs. of Unique in 32-20 brass run in Lee Nagant dies. Very accurate. Today Priva makes new loads for about $25 a box. I think Cabela's has them.

Does the seating die also crimp the neck? Or is that done in a separate die?
Another question, does the resizing die completely remove the crimp.?
Thanks in advance...

Cabelas usually does have the ammo. They sell the handguns fairly often, that's where I got mine. It is about $25 for a box of 50. Surplus ammo is also available from multiple sources. I've never tried any of it as they usually sell in such large quantities, I'm not interested. I love the guns but would be hard pressed to ever use 2000 rounds. I've found them to be very accurate and don't have any difficulty with the trigger pull although I do recognize it is awful.
