    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 ...

    Ah, I see, so these are like the old Morris aiming tubes.

    I would have thought they would still benefit from a snug fit though..

    Wrap the sub cal barrel with PTFE tape and they're as good as gold. But like the L1A1 rifle versions, get a slight bulge and it's there for ever!

    I would think bulges would be a result of a squib ammo or perhaps a small blockage like water or...? Normal use won't produce a bulge will it Peter? You've examined a few thousand of this sort of thing...what else would cause the bulges, not normal use surely?

    Our .22 sub cals for the L1A1 rifle had quite a few bulges. Thereafter the rifle remained a .22"! Don't know really what caused them. But we ALWAYS blamed the ammo and the ammo techs!

    N°7 MK1 in 22 mag is for sale at 800 euros and he will not reduce the price.
    N°4s Long Branch from 450 euros to 1,00 euros and not even in 303 british.

    Easy enough... Yes, it would be easy to have a stoppage and not really check for a barrel obstruction I guess. Perform your I/A and carry on. Having used them my share for sure...and you could easily wind up with a squib and a rung bore.
