    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 ...

    To say the least, and " ISSUED WITH THE BRITISH 7.64mm SNIPER RIFLE" no less. Must be an upgunned version. We'd need to load for that wildcat.

    Mind you he's no more optimistic than the bloke on fleaBay in Scotland who has a No22C scope on there advertised as a 'Lee Enfield Sniper Scope' with an opening bid price of 1000 pounds!

    In case you "Loos" it, there was a battle at Loos in WWI........"The MkII version was deemed an improvement" ? Isn't that the way subsequent marks work or am I missing somefink....... like BAR I would not mind seeing a 7.64 Sniper rifle now that would be a rare bird.

    R P 1000 GBP

    Very, very butchered. Not worth much but would be invited into a collection as what it is, a fighting knife.

    Lots were done after the fact too because of lack of hunting knives and availability of these. Price was once right too.
