    a few "rare" parts for the 1903 rifle

    I came across these parts at gun shows a few years ago, it is unusual to find these
    1903 parts not attached to the rifle

    first is the early blued open bottom rear sight base, appears to be a new part and
    never attached to a barrel

    second is the Rock Island rear sight leaf for 30-06 cartridges, note the square left side of
    the slide (like the 2400 yard leaf sight) also without a top rib in backAttachment 87033Attachment 87034Attachment 87035

    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 ...
