    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 ...

    I appreciate it the update. Knowing prices serves me well. And congrats on the sell!
    Did it end up going to someone that had the frame to match?

    unknown. he just bought it.
    issue I had in the past was most uss frames are worn. putting the new like slide on one made it stick out.
    many collectors avoided it. what he's going to do with it is beyond me. im just glad i passed it on. I lost interest in building one when I hit that brick wall issue on worn frames being mismatched.

    With the CMPicon .45 being now send out and many of them have been updated with new slides and other parts the demand for a correct and new WW2 class slide will be very high.

    Do you still have the H/S barrel? PM me with a price if it is still available, please.

    I have a slide exactly like the one the OP sold. It's slightly used but excellent and Parkerized. I'd guess it's refinished. Weren't all of the USS pistols originally finished in Dulite blue or did they transition to Parkerizing like Colt and Remington Rand?

    This is a cool video if you have not seen it before. No sound, but at 6:20 in it references the Du-Lite-ing of the parts. Stick around until 6:25 for the cutest Rosie the assembler you have likely ever seen! My grandfather worked at "The Switch" during the war until he retired. I live @ 8 miles from where it was located. The factory was torn down years ago, (though US&S still maintains a presence in Pittsburgh) and there is a run-down strip mall on the sight now.
