    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 ...

    Nice Gun. Similar to one that just sold on GunBroker last week with a PH-4 sight.

    Almost bought it myself but I'm running out of space.

    One or more batches of No4 Mk2 rifles (or action bodies) were sold direct to Parker Hale, Fultons, and other gunsmiths.

    These rifles were then prepared as SRb target rifles, as in the auction specimen.

    The rifles are seen with either no conventional marks and numbers (ie as a standard service rifle has), or they have this type of engraved "No4 Mk2" which was done by the gunsmith - which is why it is not electro-pencilled.
