    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 ...

    Yes. Was on gunbroker. I don't know how most folks search but I typically put in sniper rifle or something I am interested in.... the only way to find this weapon was to enter "sniping" or no.1 mk4, or enfield and search through each listing because the first picture of the weapon was just the rifle alone... no scope, no box etc.... so unless you just have lots of time to search every listing, it was easily missed.
    Yes, this is T is in really good condition. The chest a little wear but certainly in line with age and my others. Thank you guys for the nice responses....

  6. Thank You to speckles For This Useful Post:

    I'm confused, was this actually listed as "No.1 Mk4" (which is wrong) or as "No.4 Mk1" (correct)?

    Yes..... Parashooter....this rifle was listed as "No.1 Mk4 sniping enfield".. then the first picture was just the rifle... nothing else, so when searching enfields, it would require looking at this one very specifically and all the pictures, which, once I was looking at it as a large picture, it became apparent what it really was.

    Ignorant or not someone did specles and us a service by spending good money on then doing just the right amount to that rifle to deliver a time capsule to 2017.

    It is a beautiful rifle and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes it was theirs.
