    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 ...

    Well then...I'll take it! I'll have to watch this one, I can't imagine it selling. It'll probably be re-listed at much lower...I should think.

    This particular U.S.iconM.C. Unertl has been popping up every so often for 6 or 8 months. Only lowered the price once on the second listing IIRC. There was another one on that sold for around $3600 USD last week minus the carrying case. These are a lot scarcer than a No.32, only 1775 U.S.M.C. marked 7.8x(8x) Unertls were made and the micarta cases are harder to come by than the scopes. It would probably be worth it to someone with a documented U.S.M.C. 1903 rifle needing a scope.
    What about the No.32 Mk.1 on ebay with a BIN of $2950? Just scope and covers, no bracket or tin. A bit optimistic don't you think?

    I have two originals without scopes and therefore would be interested in it. However, it's way too expensive, and after all I have a third rifle complete with scope and can aswell, so it's more of a luxury problem anyway..

    Yes we would all like to go back when I think of my Dad selling our Buick Straight 8's, Chevy Impala Pillarless, 1960 Pontiac Leurentian, Plymoths, Morris's, AP-5 Valliant and oh so many other cars I cringe at their value today.

    But in all fairness to the 1700 odd Unertl's made does not justify 10K, I mean how much for the No.1 Mk III a one of presented to the King of Siam if you have seen pics of it boy it sure is pretty but not a shooter
