    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 ...

    Went over the chest with a fine tooth comb and not much else other than what is shown.
    Photo of the complete unit...if I can find it on the memory stick and a few more markings.
    The rear sight sports a S for Savage

    Warren thank you for the pictures of the L42, I have seen sometimes that the Rifle serial number, telescopic sight number, and the scout regiment numbers inside the lid. Sometimes in chalk you can get the snipers name, which it was issued to or can be on the lid normally marked in permanent marker pen.
