Not mine. I'm not an expert, but looks promising. Pricey, though at $6,995.00 "Buy it Now"

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.

Nice looking little time capsule. This one I could believe, someone stole it early and set it aside because it was something new at the time. It's had some sanding to the wood...yes, a lot of cash.

**Bill Hollinger** · 02-14-2015 01:16 PM

Unbelievable how sweet that is! Lots of detailed pictures and lots of description! Does the stock look sanded to anyone else besides Jim? It is hard to tell but the butt plate seems to show a little overhang??? Not running it down at all. Just a question for discussion.

**browningautorifle** · 02-14-2015 01:28 PM

It's just that there's evidence of dings and such that seem to have been erased...maybe it was just steamed out. Right side of the pistol grip. Even at the heel of the butt the metal comes at least even with if not over the wood. Also the trigger mech stands well proud of the belly of the stock...

Shouldn't the slide be a E168?

**BrianQ** · 02-14-2015 03:44 PM

It is an easily identifiable restoration and not a very good one at that.

**browningautorifle** · 02-14-2015 03:45 PM

Thanks Brian...what's too good to be true often is. That's probably why I don't have a rack full of these.

Appealing low serial number. It appears nice, but there are questions. Even though the seller mentions two hammer marks, that means at least one part had been upgraded then replaced. How many others?

Seems a bit pricey.

bigger then the hammer usage the biggest sore spot is the drilled out spring tube hole in the rear, the gun was bought buy Fred Hawkey back in 2004-2008 era, I remember seeing pics of it he sent me and had to tell him what was wrong with it-it sold at his estate sale back a yr ago in Mich--Fred had died and left his 30 inland collection to his niece. It brought around 3000 at the auction from memory. All of Fred's guns were restorations except #3546 However 2961 was sold to him as original. It was far from it.
