    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 ...

    That's what they cost though...I had a beauty of a 1928 and if it could have been imported to the US would have gleaned over that buck easy. Instead it goes here for $4000CDN, and as a dewat.

    Sold my 1928 commercial in late 1977 for $1500 cdn dollars along with an MP40 and MK3 sten, they would fetch a small fortune today at a US auction if they could be exported there

    And therein lay my dilemma...and as you know there's not one thing we can do. Actually, deactivating it didn't really bother me. I made enough out of the small stuff that I had, mags and parts to bring it up to decent. Made some good friends along the way too...around the country.
