    I'm running 42 GN AR 2208 PPU cases CCI BR 4 primers and 174 GN Woodleigh .312 PP SN projectiles in my No 1, 4 and 5 all original iron sights and can usually get better than 1 1/2" at 100 Meteres with a 5 shot group. All the rifles have been worked on to get the best out of them I might add.

    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 ...

    Hi Cinders,

    I picked up 5000 a couple of years ago and they worked out at .25 each, not sure what they are going for at the moment but will need to find some more 174 at the end of the year. To be truthful I was using Sierra Match King but when they dried up because of the panic buying in the US turned to the homemade woodies and they shoot really well, dare I say better than the Sierras.

    The 174 SMK's are back on tap but be ready for a shock the price has risen sharply around .65 ~ .90c/ea depending on where you shop.

    My newly put together No 4 T replica shoots factory Winchester 180 gr Power Point in 0.77"
    @ 100 metres from a bench. The barrel is brand new though, it's a hammer forged Armalon
    supplied by tbonesmithicon.

    As some of the others have mentioned, barrel condition and fore end bedding are large contributing factors to accuracy. 2 moa is good though for an average condition Enfield
