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.

Very rare part Mark, use started in the fall of 1940 with a single keystone spring, then for awhile with the Wallace- Barnes round wire then back to the keystone. Highest known original rifle with the round body follower rod and keystone spring is s/n 189209. Some collectors think there was a longer keystone spring used too.Attachment 81937 Attachment 81938

Odd, no description at all other than unmarked M1 icon

follower rod.

I guess for those who really know what the scoop is on this rod it doesn't matter.

Honestly you don't care if it is SA or WRA when you cannot find one. Either will do until the correct one [if ever] comes along. Rick B icon
