    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 ...

    Getting one under £150 in the UKicon is almost impossible now, if you can find one at all

    I was able to find one on Gungle in late November 2015. But they are now few and far between!

    I picked up a couple of L42 mags at one of the Bisley shows last year. They were priced at £150 each but I managed to snag the pair for £250. There is a show coming up next week, I hope to be going.

    Another good example of getting while the going was good. Made from unobtanium.

    No L42 mags that I could see this year Peter. Picked a few other interesting bits up.
    Was £14k and a bit short for the ex plod L96A1 though.

    Is that what they were asking for it?

    Fultons had a couple of L42 Mags in the cabinet.

    How much were the L42 mags at Fultons? I'm sitting down.
