    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 ...

    Well I've avoided "scope eye" so far and it doesn't seem to be a problem shooting prone, good solid position. However I do have the original eye shade installed on my Mk 1 scope and it's got me thinking, I may get a pal to film a shot or two and see what's happening with the rifle under recoil to see what the clearance to eyebrow is at the point of extreme rearward travel.
    I guess there must have been a few old boys after the war walking around with nice scars over their eyes. It wouldn't have taken long before word went round to loose the eye shades I'm sure.
    I will admit to smacking myself on the nose with my thumb when shooting a Martini Henry for the first time, that makes your bloody eyes water! Wont be doing that again.

    Yep, seconded for Martini thumb/nose smack!

    Mine was a fist shoot with a Martini Carbine, caught me out, snappy old beast. You soon learn though...
