    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 ...

    Yes, it's the real deal & looks to be originally matching. Note it also has an ash cheekpiece which is common on 1944/45 rifles (though beech is commoner, all told). The ash looks much like oak & I think it's much nicer than beech............but that's just me!!

    Nice Brunofix finish as well. Which means it has not seen enough service to have require much maintenance. Might hurt the ol' walllet, but it's nice!

    You can buy mine complete CES dated 1945 for £4900 off Gunstar currently iof that falls through. I can give you personal testimony to back up its authenticity too.
    It is a dream rifle, I am only selling it to consolidate in 7.62.

    I put a healthy bid in on both items and have not receive a call.

    Will not disclose the specifics, but let me say the bids were based on recent retail prices.
