    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.

    Isn't that nice? Is it a reblue? What's that on the tip of the front sight?

    Re-blu sadly. The front sight has a square chuck to assist the point of aim I am assuming. The nice thing is that the chunk can be removed without boogering the original form of the front sight.

    Maybe not so sad, it may have looked worse before?

    Blu over evidence of pitting is the tell. A nice shooter for sure however.

    Corrosion pitting always seems to affect C96's at the top of the pistol grips quite badly, I guess the inevitable action of age, hand salts and poor historic cleaning..

    That looks like a super pistol though, re blue or not.
