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.

Hi Luis, that would be appropriate for Mk4 barrel or a 7.62mm L4 barrel. £10-£15 is about right for current pricing.

Nice work, Luis, you certainly have a talent in restoration. Well done!

I wish I had 10p for every one of those I'd stripped down and or replaced....... There was a certain knack for replacing those two round nuts especially the smaller one. Both hidden deep in the bowels of the grip and have a zillion TPI threads. Just slightly cross thread it and you're in trouble UNLESS you take apart again, clean thread and start again and DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU FEEL IT TIGHTENING UP.

Hi Peter
The small nut is a nightmare to screw!!! I need special screwdriver to screw?????

Special screwdriver....... Well, there was a special forked screwdriver on the original combination screwdriver. But if you give that combination tool to the crunchies, they'll use it, believe me! And that's something you definitely don't want them to do. We all made a special screwdriver that ensured that the nut remained exactly square-on (or at least you hoped that it would....) to the bolt while the nut engaged the thread. Stick the nut onto the forked recesses in the nut with a blob of grease, insert it into the grip then try a turn......... no binding........... try another turn and if it was still OK, then tighten up.

If you ponly need to do the job once or twice then don't bother making one. Just do it carefully........

Isn't that thread about a million TPI? Wasn't that a bit of a problem to replace? Easy to cross?
