    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 ...

    I have had some success with similar running type cracks with opening up the crack and inserting glue in the crack with a syringe & clamping the repair.
    You might even consider a vertical small hardwood dowel or two. I have used super type glue & Tite Bond outdoor rated wood glue with good results. The key is wood as oil free as possible and good coverage & clamping. Many very capable woodworkers here I am sure more will chim in soon.

    Do not discard that one if you are able to find a solid one. Quite repairable from the photos.
