    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 ...

    Hey mate
    Can you please clarify what the 1943 rebuild stamp on the stock of your 1942 rifle looks like.

    Homer, I'll pull it out and verify when I get home but I think it just has "43" stamped on the stock.

    1942 Lithgowicon SMLE, C74207 on nose, barrel, bolt and receiver. FTR stamp above receiver serial number and MA/54 stamped under safety screw. Barrel date 11/53. Very few stamps on wood, SLAZ 52 on all wood parts and a few misc single letters here and there.

    Cadet rifle I assume since it has a 1.5" wide green band on the buttstock. Also has two painted red dots about 1.5" diameter on the RH (bolt handle) side, one behind the green stripe and one on the front. Not sure why red and green on the same rifle, headspace is fine and very little wear on the bore and rifle overall.
