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.

Rebuilt and rebarreled at Tooele Arsenal Nov 1965. Nice example of a rebuild that is getting a lot of attention these days. Mike Bernazzani is doing feature articles on the various rebuilds for the GCA icon

Journal, LEAD is next but TE is in the works. Nice rifle.

Looks like that after it was rebuilt at Tooele in 1965 it went overseas. It was purchased by Interarms and imported back into the U.S. Most likely in the 1970's. Note the InterArms Alex Va. import marking on barrel. (third picture).
Also note the Italian icon

(Breda) produced Bullet Guide, which it may have picked up while in foreign service.
