    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 ...

    Had a fellow that shoots these tell me it's probably OK for reduced black powder loads which is good enough for me. Probably never shoot it anyway. He fired one he cleaned up that was in worse shape with no problems. I still need to get the metal plate made and the base of the forestock repaired on the inside along with either making or repairing the hammer spring.

    Found a guy that makes the hammer spring and have it on hand now. I'll have to fit it to the rifle yet, hopefully that will go well.

    I recently picked up, from a U.K. dealer, an ex Nepalese Royal palace East India Company musket that has very similar corrosion on the underside of the barrel to your rifle. I regard these as "curios" or collector's/wall-pieces, not shooters, that have been deactivated by corrosion. Personally, I wouldn't like to try shooting one of these for fear of the thing blowing up in my face.

    In the U.K. we can legally own these antique guns, without a licence, provided that we don't attempt to shoot/use them.
