    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 ...

    Vincent,
    Is the George Reigns Lee Enfield another question per chance to keep us on our toes for the weekend?

    Nope. Austrian Gendarmerie. Not quite the same thing.

    Often found on No. 1 Mk III's, Model 1917 pistols, some M-1 Carbines. The odd No. 4; from my experience these are scarce. May be others, as well.

    To be more precise, our Gendarmerie in Kärnten used them. They were under Britishicon occupation after WWII and were given the SMLE rifles. These rifles are quite scarce, I often wonder how they managed to get to the US.

    €dit: Gendarmerie were the Austrian police forces outside citites. They were fusioned with the police in 2005.
