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.

Fine looking rifle. That's going back to the design's beginnings. James Lee's first bolt action rifles were chambered in .45-70. Below is a M1885 Lee Remington.

That is a beaut! There is something satisfying about a 45-70 bolt action. I thought it was a 12ga conversion when I saw it in the shop and wasn't intrigued. But the fella said "45-70". Sold sir! Lol

I wanted to have one of those for donkey's years...same thought, that's how they started out. That would be great for a brush buster out in our prairies.

Show us some close ups of the bolt face, mag interior and receiver interior at the mag...?

Were those new built guns and actions or was Navy Armys recycling surplus and just refinishing/scrubbing them when they refit the stock and barrel? That's pretty neat.

Navy Arms used Indian .308 actions with new made barrels and magazine. It is a great novelty item but for its size it is extremely heavy. But to each his own.
