    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 ...

    He has more Lithgowicon SLRs than Lithgow. At least he is allowed to have them so i might just might let him escape with one just one rack he cant have any of our RACKS.

    I saw one of the 20 .303/SLR Rifle cabinets up for auction on ebay by a guy in Queensland, problem is it was pickup only. I would of needed a pallet and a freight company to get it back over here. But it would of made a nice conversation piece..... maybe in the lounge and turn it into a drinks cabinet

    Bind2 are you coming over for the auction?

    I have been offered a lockable Australianicon Army SLR rifle cabinet for free, all I have to do is pick it up. Trouble is it's big and very heavy.

    I scored one of those "convertible" L1A1 / SMLE boxes a decade or so back. "Bronze green" on the inside, "Olive drab" on the outside; a real bit of history.

    Very handy in the workshop: you can bolt them to the wall and keep the "toys" secured in between bouts of work.

    I can still remember loading heaps of them, FULL of L1A1s onto the back of the old International F-1, 6 x 6 trucks before we headed off to fun placed like Tin Can Bay or Shoalwater.

    And then we got the "Tupperware rifles"...........

    You don't need to stir about racks, I married one(WRAAC) and her rack wasn't bad either.........bit different now, something to do with gravity they say.
