    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 ...

    Here's his pic for those of you... I have a hard time believing that's original from the military that used these? Anyone else seen this? We've had these here before and no one even mentioned them.

    There is no such animal as a P17.

    We all know what he was talking about. You notice the rest spoke of it as an M1917? I guess you read the first post and thought this was a useful addition to this discussion from mid last year?

    What he said.

    ---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

    It looks like the block sight was cut off, then drilled and a roll pin inserted.

    It would be an easy thing to adjust the height for someone who did not know or wanted the battle sight to be at a XXX yard zero that was different than the (400?) of the 1917.

    Never saw one like it.

    I have one sight that someone cut the battle peep into a V.

    Was a common enough act by some when these were available. They take a triangle file and get at it...60 seconds later, that troublesome old "Peep" was gone.
