    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 ...

    Steve,

    You have to take them bigger. They are 640 x 480. Set your camera for larger photos if you can and turn on your macro setting if you have one for close-ups and better focus.

    If you click on each individual picture it should enlarge at least it does for me. Steven, the BR looks very good all put toghether. Did you measure the TE/ME? I have three and the worst one has been rebarreled and turned into an M1D. Everything needs to be parked next. This hobby is fun howerver plan jane parts are getting way to expensive. Take care

    Thanks guys, I guess it's just a matter of getting used to something new. Funny how that becomes more worrisome the older I get. The rifle that is complete in the pics has a TE of 3 and the muzzle shows 3/16" of bullet. The other is MW 1/32" and TE of 7 with the added bonus of a very rough bore with little rifling. Both initially had mucho rust in the bore but the '45 bbl cleaned up fairly well eventually. I'll go shoot it this afternoon and smooth it out even more. Steve
