    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 ...

    Posed picture... when you inspect an M1icon you grab it higher and harder, and the trooper drops his hands the instant you touch it (or a split second before). Continue the motion across your front and down, stick your left thumb in the clip well to reflect light off the nail into the bore, look down the barrel from the muzzle. Bring it up to horizontal and inspect the top from front to back like you are eating an ear of corn. Spin it and inspect the bottom the same way, then rotate it again and hand it back exactly as you took it.
