    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 ...

    Same here Mike. There's something not quite proportionate in that cylinder. Camera angle or what? Look at that compared with the skeletonised Mk6 and cylinder shown elsewhere

    Looks to have had two cylinders welded together. You can see gas pits in the metal...both in the cylinder and the frame.

    Yep on the frame they have inserted pieces in the frame, top strap & cylinder kept the logo, could have filled in the pits with liquid metal or another hard filler and that would have disguised it even more definitely a furphy builder to trick some one in the Man Cave conversations. Definitely not a shooter......

    I wonder if it's been cut up to destroy it and then someone's had a go at putting it back together. Can you imagine firing a .455 round that was that long? It may even shame the IMI desert eagle!
