    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 ...

    wow, that's cool. I want that

    "...snip...
    Make: British Small Arms Company (B.S.A. Co.), Englandicon

    Model: Enfield SHT LE III (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III), Later Designated No.1 MkIII. Now in Sniper Configuration

    Serial Number: 40549

    Year of Manufacture: 1918. Modern Conversion to Sniper Configuration
    ...snip...
    Our Assessment: This Enfield SHT LE III has been converted to an Enfield Sniper. It has had scope bases added to the left side of the receiver as well as a raised cheek piece added to the top of the butt. A reproduction No. 32 MKI Scope & reproduction No. 32 MKI Mount have been nicely fitted to the rifle. A true Enfield Sniper is built on an Enfield No4 Mk1 and up graded by Holland & Holland. Although this rifle is a reproduction, it still looks pretty damn cool and should be able to slay targets for years & years to come.

    I like how they avoided showing pictures of how the flat mounts fit on a round action...

    Every L.E. I have bought that has the huge gap between the forwood and wrist face has also had very worn draws. Based on the pictures and the gap on this one I would bet the same. My guess 20 MOA shooter and someone paid that for it. Scratching my head....
