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.

Canadian made rear sight with the sight leaf from a Canadian Ross Mk. III rifle.
These sights are unique to Canada icon

and were an early attempt at a Canadian sight mainly used for target shooting.
Their total history is a bit sketchy as no one is 100% sure how they evolved but you will find them Canadian marked with the C broad arrow.
Attachment is through a modified ejector screw.
Your sight leaf is made by H.W. Cooey of Canadian arms making fame who also made the sights for the Mk. III Ross.

It is a Ross sight for the MkIII Ross with the adaptor to fit the SMLE. It was intended for use only on the .22" No2 Lee Enfield.
