    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 ...

    No magazine innards either. I wonder if the op rods are welded open for dedicated drill rifles?

    Hard to say but I'd sure like to examine a few of them...for markings and such.

    Looking at the rear of the rifle I do not think it has a rear sight either judging by the others.

    That's correct, that's the one missing both. So his is lighter than the rest.

    Bit like when we shot pistols doing burgler practice point and shoot at center mass not that it made any difference we could never say to them "Hang on while I get my H/gun out of the safe, unlock the ammo section, load up and have a crack at you." In the US theives perhaps think twice when people are home lest they face a H/gun or maybe a 12 gauge...
