    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 ...

    As manufactured 1908 Brazilians had bright or ''in the white'' bolts and receivers and it's my understanding those found with blued receivers have been through a rebuild at some point.

    I built a Cavalry Carbine off a 1908 DWM Brazilianicon action with an Argentine 1909 Carbine barrel & stock, and I'm getting 1" groups @ 50 yds with iron sights. I'm very happy with it.
    A 1908 Brazilian in 7x57 Mauser should be an outstanding shooter, depending on condition (of course)
