    Hi Simon, That's the only one I've ever attempted three times and failed. They aren't processing anything right now unless urgent or combat related because of the gov't shutdown. At almost $3000 a year for the registration, it's just a bit annoying!

    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 ...

    That must be fun, congrats!

    Was it intended that the safety be operated with the left hand or the trigger finger? Lousy system either way for a sniper's rifle.

    Is that an 11mm rail or a custom profile? (I've read but forgotten.) Looks as though the size of the ejection port might have dictated the size of the rail?

    Were it up to me the scope rings would cover the entire length of the scope tube.

    It is great fun thanks Surpmil.

    Without doubt THE most accurate rifle I own.

    The rail is 11mm

    The right handed safety was something that AI had to incorporate so as to overcome the IPR governing certain patents on the rights to the L96 which were owned by the MoD. There were several other small but significant changes too, including the AW name and that's why you don't/won't see L96 type rifles sold

    Lithy that is a very good score. Will be calling in next time a raid is planned will bring a bone for the guard.

    I thought you'd notice him sitting at attention.

    Jokes aside, I'd like to second Capt. Laidlericon's motion from a previous thread in that we should have a section within milsurps.com dedicated to these rifles.

    There are several threads with great pics and useful information scattered throughout this site that could be moved to one spot. Hopefully it might also encourage some of the members that have contacted me via PM to show off their toys and have their questions correctly answered by someone with more knowledge.
