    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 ...

    Sorry my mistake, I had 2 windows open. One was reading yours and the link to E gun parts.

    With the E gun parts link open I cruised the pages of parts and noticed the barrel band and decided to post about it not being real GI, I thought I was posting a new topic. But mistakenly posted in your thread. Little tired after just getting back from Maryland visiting Daughter and trying to keep up with my now 2 year old grandson.
    Message being...... not all parts advertised as US GI on that link are real GI.
    Like the Type II band I linked.

    Again apologize for any confusion and Welcome to the Carbine world ! Congrats on a nice S'G'.

    Cheers

    I was in Silver Springs......... Busy as could be. Daughter works 6-7 miles from her home, it takes her ~35-40 minutes to get there. Get caught by a red light, it will take 3 minutes for a green.
    I'll stick with Michigan.... green grass and the sound of loons and crickets at night.
