    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 ...

    Very neat! Thanks for sharing. I prefer US military arms but this would look mighty fine on my coffee table.

    I've sold many of these over the years. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they DO require an FFL and a 16" barrel. Dumb I know but that's the law.

    these have been totally deactivated there is no possible way to make these fire ever again. Spent long hours with ATF making sure that was all legal to sell. Now in original form before action were cut an barrel stubs cut they are considered fully fictional. with barrels being plugged after being cut thru chamber area. part of chamber is missing. then top of chamber is cut open.Making these pieces just decorations.

    If it's an exception to their normal deactivation policy, just make sure you have a letter from ATF stating it's OK. Get it in writing from Firearms Technology Branch.
