    Some photos of the rifle. Seems to be in great shape.

    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 ...

    Nice find!-I wonder; were the fingers at the sight on the handguard, front, seldom repaired once broken off, and just sawed off square? One of my SMLE's is just like the one pictured here; fingers removed. I read it was common practice during WWII and later to remove them.

    Thanks again Peter.

    I found some surplus stock disks. What is everyone's opinion on putting one into the stock? Would it be ruining it or adding to it?

    Definitely replace it. Find an original screw too if possible.
