    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 ...

    This illustrates why you have the depth of knowledge on these stock marks and variations. After dealing with this much ordnance, it would be hard to not know.

    I kept a bit quite but have cleaned the Barn from this story or 2,000 stocks. Lots of neat stuff and a great story for the GCAicon journal to come. This time more about the family. I have made many new friends on this venture and the Berkoff's grandkids have been super. Here is a short video of the 1st time I walked in. Rick. http://m.youtube.com/watchv=C4fhm2Kwgc8#
