    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 ...

    I was thinking of getting a 1903 stock from Boyds but decided against it due to some of the negative feedback regarding QC.
    I am ordering an 03 stock from Custom Rifle Stocks instead. Military pattern and more cost but a better quality.

    Do you have a link to their website? I also have heard that Boyds stocks have issues.

    Why not try Miltech

    This rifle was built by Miltech.



    I have no idea where they get their stocks but the fit and finish, not to mention performance, of this rifle is second to none. Why don't you reach out to them and see what they can do for you. Their website is: http://www.miltecharms.com/index.htm

    Your rifle is exactly what I'm in the process of building. VERY nice looking rifle, thanks for the picture and the link. In your opinion, how well done is the inletting and fitting of the stock to the metal?

    Tailback,

    I did not disassemble the rifle once I got it back from Miltech. But this is what it does at 300 yards with Hornady Garandicon Match Ammo.



    Here is the closeup of the Parker Hale sight
