    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 think £650 is roughly what they are going for here in the UKicon, and have stayed somewhat consistant over the last few years, but they are like everything starting to become collectable and therefore rare.
    They only seem to surface as owners drop off their respective purches!!

    They must be exceptionally nice rifles. I watch for these all the time and sometimes see them listed at $700 -$800. They don`t seem to move until the price drops to $650 or so.

    I just picked up a super nice matching 45 BSA with nice clear markings and an excellent bore for $550.

    In December I sold a pretty nice matching, with 8/10 bore, small crack at front of forend and Ishy screw for $375. I originally had $425 on it.

    $500 - $650 is the going rate in Canadaicon, as long as the bore is good.


    That's about what you would pay her in NZicon as well for one in top condition. There are very few NZ marked ones here. Most are UKicon imports with few markings on them

    Question Jungle carbine

    Isn't the barrel too long for a Mk V?

    No. It's a No. 5 not a Mk 5...the barrel is correct.
