    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 ...

    Jim, I made it up as a joke to fool the non cartridge collector, Sovieticon 5,45x18mm sells for around $10 to $12 per cartridge now and no reason nor need to fire an expensive collector cartridge in your AK74 or clone

    I don't think I've even seen the little ones. I remember when the long ones were $100 CDN each...

    The Sovieticon PSM pistol chambers the 5,45x18mm and is quite rare to locate or purchase. Before the US ATF requirements went into effect (the PSM would not pass the requirement for import), there
    were a few PSM pistols in the USAicon, some were gifts and some smuggled. One was on a west coast auction in 1993 listed for $3000.00, I saw a PSM on a small auction in the late 90's for $3400.00.

    Note, you can make 5,45x18mm from 22 Hornet brass
