    Mine is a bit earlier than the OP's. Has the tag under the buttplate.
    Splurged and got the target sights and scope mount for it - my old eyes can't handle open sights very well.
    It is accurate. Just assembled some loads today. I'm using .284 Winchester cases. Very minor reforming required.

    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 ...

    Those are both very beautiful rifles guys. Anyone have a good load recipe for GP11 style loads?

    I load with N140 and 180 grs. FMJBT bullets from S&B, but I don't think the loads are really similar to the original ones, since I have to keep the rear sight up a notch or two.
    If I', not wrong the last loads I tried were 44,0 grs.
    I also tried 147 hrs. FMJBT, again from S&B with 46,5 grs. of N140.
    OAL I can't remember, guess I made them 78,0 mm?
    Must check.
    I was not pleased with the 147's, while the 180's were very good.
    I'll keep trying.
