    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 ...

    It was an early PM Series rifle, it's on their website with a very poor photo ( Bolt Open Classics)

    It didn't have the bolt or mag in so I couldn't see if it was the early one with the AI home made mag in. If so, you'd never get another mag for it.

    Their sales technique of having one sign saying £POA and another next to it saying 'Offers Invited' suggests they really don't have a clue as to what to sell it for.

    The whole Pheonix 'show' was pretty poor, verging on Dire!

    Show was generally **** poor compared to previous years. Apparently a few traders turned up to find they didn't have a table. Mutterings of it being the last one.

    Just saw your post bit late. You didn't give your opinion of the L96A1. Was it in good condition?
