    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 ...

    Those new-made kits have been getting great reviews. A credit to him and all his hard work.

    I went into a store a few years ago looking for something else - or just being nosey, depending on your point of view....., and found a wooden box that contained - and I'm not kidding here - about 200 of those retainers, the end sections that holds the rear end of the return spring and return spring rod plus zillions of the little circlips that retain the rid in place. It's not that they ever go wrong!

    Rays kits really are great, I too am astonished at how reliable they are!

    HK got the base design right in the first place and Ray obviously made a very close copy capturing the designs inherent reliability.

    Just an idea Peter, I don't suppose any of those neglected dusty and forlorn L12A1 spare parts could be rehoused to a loving home ... like mine for instance?

    Source an FN Sniper Scope top cover base. & Good Japaneseicon Scope. & you have a good Bunny Rifle. Whilst waiting in good cover around 4-5pm in the afternoons. You could easily take out 'the Whole Family'.

    I'm curious as to what you call very impressive accuracy, I wouldn't expect Anschutz type performance, but just what kind of grouping did you get and with which ammo?
