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.

Just about everything but the rear sights and handguards are interchangeable but minor to major fitting may or may not be required.

HTH,

The barrels, upper bands, and front sights are also not interchangeable, but can be made to fit.

John,

I knew there was something I would leave out! But I have seen too many rifles with the front sight and bands made to fit. On the barrels, I didn't explain in detail, I assumed MIL rifle1 was interested in replacing "small parts" and not building a rifle from a box of parts as Vi Shooter did.
