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.

I was told some winchesters were made as D's... Wether or not someone was blowing smoke up my arse is anyones guess...

M1C rifles were built using new Springfield receivers.

M1D rifles were built using used receivers. So, they can be Springfield, Winchester, IHC or even HRA receivers.

I have a friend, an older retired Col., who has a Lottery CMP icon

D that in a Winchester. He has kept in in the wrap as an investment. I should point out I've never seen the gun but I have no reason to doubt him.

I received a Winchester M1D from the CMP icon

in 1997. At that time someone wrote an article about the numbers. As I recall, about 10% of the M1D's released from the CMP at that time were Winchester. I think there were reports of only a few HRA's, IHC's and post war Springfields. The rest were all WWII Springfields.

Here is a picture.

For some reason, I have the idea that the M1Ds were made before IHC and HRA rifles were produced.

FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.
