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.

It looks very honest to me.

I agree, looks good. Worn enough, with the nice, milled forearm band (hope the name is correct).
Matching and with some history (probably true).
Nothing to not like it.

I would want to see better photos of the bolt handle/ser nr. It looks like it has been milled & renumbered from the poor photos shown. I also didn't see any stock numbers. Otherwise a nice K98k icon

Can someone comment on the plum colored extractor? I thought plum/purple looking parts like that could be a sign of an RC or rework. I've seen some bolt shrouds that can exhibit subtle signs of this too but not as obviously. I'm curious mostly due to not finding a whole lot of solid information last I looked.

**Brian Dick** · 02-03-2017 02:33 PM

The extractor is correct.

I've seen a few that the serial numbers were welded up, filed/machined and renumbered. This one looks original to me.

Guys,

Interesting enough, Badger mention in a current post (it's in a PDF in the post)
"Help Identifying dot k98" that;

"Extractors on early bolts are blue with a reddish brown color, which
became more noticable as the year progressed."

I know he referring to a 1943 dot however this may apply to this rifle, maybe?

Any thoughts?
