    1903 Time machine

    I have no idea where this one has been hiding for the past 97 years but I have been looking for this rifle for 20 years or so. It's a 1920 National Match SN 1180773, barrel dated 12-19. The bolt(J5) is in the white, it has a fine checkered buttplate and a like new boxed DAL stock. I was in total shock when this gun arrived last week. JB says it's a NM no doubt. It also came with the OHare covers, a oiler, BUCK sling and a -.1 muzzle. Life is good!

    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.
