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.

RBruce--

The Manufacturers number is a CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) Code which can be found on the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Web site. If you do a Google search of "CAGE Code search" you can find the web site. The "list" consistently changes from day to day. The CAGE Code was originally the FSC (Federal Supply Code) and FSCM (Federal Supply Code Manufacturer). Generally, a supplier of services is given an alpha-numeric number to identify the location of the provider of the services. Codes with all numerics are manufacturers. This policy has changed in recent years. One given is that any company location providing any services to the US military has a CAGE Code if they don't they are not a DoD contractor.
