    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 ...

    They were real Canadian made guns. What ever the marking Canadaicon put on them. Mine are Britishicon
    Regarding your book, the price everyone wants for one is more than I paid for the gun!

    Blake used to have a good supply of Canadianicon Inglis HP and Canadian C1sterling parts and other hard to find stuff. Bought lots from
    him. Given time, he could find it.

    Interesting...... One or two errors. Some parts of it a direct copy from somewhere else! But that said, a reasonable all-round 'ready reckoner' type of precis. One point that must be mentioned, the photos. This is a good example of why you MUST always describe photos fully and accurately.

    Sometimes it’s best not to say anything and let the imagination fill in the blanks…. But I fully agree on the Sterling pictures.

    The Sterling article has been around for a while and reposted on several sites. FIREARMS CURIOSA The “In-depth” title is funny, but it has a few small interesting bits of info I don’t remember seeing anywhere else. I wonder why there’s no mention of the Mk7?

    I haven’t found much info on the CETME C2 copy. Did find some better pictures here.
