    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 sure do appreciate the response! Thanks! What I was after however was any information in Springfield Research Service on that particular Kragicon.

    OK, the closest I have is before it, 67397 is a 96 Carbine and issued to 6th cavalry. Next after it was 67426, it's also a 96 Carbine issued to the 6th cavalry. Both guns were turned in. No direct hit for me on your gun.

    Here's a bit of history. I just had heard something about the unit in China. 6th Cavalry Regiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Thanks for the link Fred, I'm saving it to watch the end. That's a nice(ish) one. Looks like it's been there, done that. The idea that this one went to China isn't too far fetched for me, mine is a '99 made in '01 and it doesn't show half of the use this one does. Nice carbine...
    Regards, Jim

    Jim, I'm not looking to bid on it so if you or anyone else likes it, Go for it!

    What about rifle No. 40979
    Anything on that? It's also up for auction.

    No hit there and the one before and after are both '96 rifles. Both issued to different units. 40982 was issued to Engineers...

    I can't bid on any of them as I'm Canadianicon. It would take more money than sense to get it here after bidding. IF the guy would even send it...
    Regards, Jim
