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.

I have a special spot in my heart for those early guns. The numbers under 1 million...

**SA M1Dom** · 03-04-2014 08:35 PM

I feel the same way about the ones under 1 mil. It took me along time to get my hands one. This was a stripped receiver when i got it so it was more gratifying building it up.

Nice looking rifles

I was lucky, mine was a LL but I found it in a gun shop in my town in 1976. First one I had actually had hands on. 328219 SA...all correct. Was that ever a lucky grab...since then I've had lots of low numbers, but none in the shape of my first.

That is nice looking. I do prefer the manganese park but there is something to be said about that grey/greenish finish you see a lot on the low numbers.

Attachment 50732 Attachment 50733 Attachment 50734 I'm lucky...I had the chance to refinish it before I knew much about them. Thought about it but didn't. I knew there was something different, even at age 18 or so. Just had to wait for the internet to find out what it was...here's a few more of it...
