    No1 Mklll The Modern Day Sniper Rifle?

    Sad, I know..........
    But while watching tonights episode of the US series Homeland this 'covert' sniper rifle was uncased by a crack FBI agent in the field (picture taken before scope was mounted).
    Its nice to see that the secret service of our American allies, even with the most modern of Ordnance at their disposal would rather rely on the trusty SMLE when it comes to the crunch

    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,ve seen a lot worse, to be honest if something like this is made up from a sporter/parts etc then I,m all for them at least they go bang..... the folding stock looks familiar with one that a company in the US was producing or was going to produce to fit the Enfield, can't remember the name as they didn't ship outside the US, at the time I was building up a few .45 Cal Enfields.
