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.

That mount is really far forward. Interesting. And no rear sight.

Is he US Army or Aussie?

Oops, I should've read the caption. Not sure if that pic is what is in the OP, because I can't see it either.

The front bell is too long for a Weaver and there appears to be a power change ring present. Redfield?

I was going to say the same thing. Thanks for backing up my thinking. The step in the objective bell is more sharp than the weavers that I have seen or accustomed to, also. But yeah, it's way long in front.
