    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 ...

    What is the front sight on the top rifle, first picture? Also, the bayonet lug/fore end cap is different on each rifle. Is one machined and one the stamped variety? Regards. Tom

    Another DA M1910 Ross with matching bayonet surfaced in Germanyicon. It is DA 307:







    I hope the S/N list in the start post will get updated, also with the two rifles of 750 WLA!

    You DA owners might want to post photos of the markings on the buttstocks. Some of these rifles were issued to some pretty famous Canadianicon regiments and fought in some quite famous engagments.

    For those that are interested in that kind of history.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    I have a couple of DA marked Rosses with a scabbard that looks like that. I wonder if they were modified in that fashion for the Chileanicon Navy?

    Also, I am going to be updating the original table with all the rifles I have been sent information on and the additions. Hope to get that done in the next short while. Quite of few of these old girls out there.

    The mouth looks like it's from another bayonet pattern all together.

    Kind of like a cut down M1907 scabbard I think.
