    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.

    I gather thats a gouge on the right side of the butts wrist, did you fit the woods yourself as it is hard to discern if there is a small gap between the socket and butt wrist as it is a taper fit so the socket does not contact the outer edge of the butts wrist which tends to knock chips out of it after repeated firings.
    Nice old rifle the bolt chargers are not an easy find so good pick up there.

    Mark 1*** rifles

    I have restored two which only required the correct nose caps and fore-end wood. I have found Mark 1*** handguards but these are also difficult and most modify the inside of a Mark III handguard. Best bet is to try and splice in a longer piece on a sporter fore-end or
    else go with the Mark III fore-end with the volley sight (another difficult item to find).

    Good thing most barrels were not cut back and restorableAttachment 88232Attachment 88231

    4th rifle from left is a ConD ii* Enfield 1907

    You check the headspace before spending any money? A complete restoration is going to be expensive too.
    Spelling and Grammar count!
