    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 ...

    Just having a glance of the Video, the No4 (T) was priced around £425 and the video made in 1986, 31 years later the price is around £4250 so I just wonder if in another 31 years will it have another 0 on the price ?

    I was looking at pricing too, the only thing to remember is that it is all relative, as earnings were sod all in 1986!

    A decent one with be a LOT more than £4250 though...........

    Happy days indeed. I had not long put my name on the various (in those days long) waiting lists for club membership for Practical Rifle when the tragic events at Hungerford happened. Fast forward another 10 years and life circumstances meant I started to look again at getting an FAC and thoughts turned to club membership enquires for Practical Pistol........and then what happens

    It was thus with enormous trepidation when I finally was able to put in for my FAC a few years ago......a long wait from my days as a teenager back in the 1970's being taught to shoot with VR dated .22RF Martini-Henry's.
