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.

Did you buy it from tagmil by chance?

**rcathey** · 10-03-2017 06:18 PM

Nope, not tagmil.

In my experience, fellas, there’s two types of gun stores. The hunting type (more Winnie 94s on the wall than AR15s) and the tactical type (vice versa). Fortunately, Kentucky is rife with the hunting type. I tracked down some ammo and took some pics but wasn’t able to cut out some time to shoot.
That old piece of walnut and steel was happy to be back home though

. Pictures and range report coming next weekend!

That's Knoxville, TN.....not KY. The same location had been a military camp during the Civil War.

Wellllllll, guess I can post some pictures. I'm no artiste but I think they came out alright.
You will notice too how well the finish matches between the new barrel and the other parts - I'm quite happy with that!

Sorry about my bad geography.

31st Michigan Vol. Inf. was moved from SAW training camp at Chickamauga, Georgia, to Knoxville, Tennessee, due to outbreak of disease.

(I have no idea why I confused these two fine states).

Nice restoration 'rcathey' !

I would guess cholera? Due to close living and water issues?

**butlersrangers** · 10-11-2017 02:10 PM

FWIW - ('BAR' - Camp move to Tennesee was due to a water borne disease, Typhoid, IIRC).

Profuse Apologies - I have no desire to distract from rcathey's Krag icon

rebuild and adventures!
