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.

I wonder what happened to the rifle?

SN duly recorded. Thanks, Loy. Did you see the other two for sale? Both have been offered for sale previously.

I have almost the exact same same "U.S. icon

Marine Corps Score Book", Fourth Edition, although it lacks the "Revised 1929" marking. The name on the cover, in faint pencil, is "H. Rorabaugh", and the rifle Serial Number is "635491". None of the pages are filled out, except he started marking on a 600 yd. page with the Serial Number (listed) and marked the sight setting as "600". Otherwise, no marks in the whole book! Anybody got an '03 - or a 1917 - with this serial? CC

Ah Ha! Found his notes on a "MEMORANDA" page (page 140)

Elev. at (600) 575 1/2 R
" at (500) 500 1/2 R
" at (300) 300 1 R
" at (200) blank - nothing further.

(Copied exactly)

The "R" (Right) Notations would seem to indicate an M1903 - since the M1917 could not adjust for windage. CC

So this book was used with a Low serial number rifle well into 1929? Wasn't it soon after the whole exploding receiver thing hit the fan?

Mines a 779XXX and I have no problems shooting it with M2 ball level pressures
