    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 ...

    Yup, needs a bit of work. Looks about like my TWO #5 carbines here, sad and needy.

    Back position shooting or a guy with no neck?

    Action looks OK and there's money in all those parts.

    Any markings on the barrel?

    Getting ready to attempt, and I stress attempt to give this rifle some love. It's bad fellas,,, the pictures don't even begin to tell the story.
    Since I know zero about the Ross I have two questions. How do you remove the bolt? More importantly does anyone have any bedding tips for the Ross?

    Photo three shows the bolt stop/release on the left side - push down and the bolt should come out. The bolt stop is powered by a spring in a hole drilled in the stock. The bolt stop may be rusted in your example.

    that is one of the better looking fine fire arms that people bring to me to buy from them or ask me if they can be fixed. Just got contacted about a few GEWicon-88's from a guy who states that are kinda broken.
    Not sure what that means yet.
