Darn....I'm just not with it today! The pics re reversed. 1906 on top and RIA 1909 on bottom.

Sorry guys!

I'll get it sooner or later!

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.

The only US bayonet from that era that I know that has a blue line that runs up the riscasso much above the guard is the US 1917 bayonet. Both Remington and Winchester.

I have a 1917 bright blade RIA, Serial Number 284xxx, that has the blue extending up to just below the serial number. I was told that about 400 RIAs were made at the restart of 1903 production in bright blade, and then they went to all blue, then parkerized. If this site would take attachments, I would post a picture. It also has mostly smooth style grips that match the patina of the metal. cc

Those are beautiful.

All, I sold an immaculate M1905 Bayonet manufactured by RIA in 1907. I can confirm that the polish of the blade was almost to the guard, unlike the SA versions. Regards, H.T.
