    Greetings,

    Is there any prospect about running this match again?

    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 ...

    Gents I believe the original "matches" were run for the folks in the UKicon to benefit from having a tangible "match" use for their equipment to support licensing etc. Bigduke did a great job of coordinating, but priorities and free time changes. Perhaps with another admin and more interest? Or just keep posting you personal fun shoots - I will, and enjoy them all.

    The idea was to run it for all members world wide and show what an old Milsurp rifle can do, there was a lot interest at the beginning but tailed off, it was hard trying to make it work for everyone, it could of been a benefit to UK shooters but think there was only myself at one point......... time and work has got in the way of a lot of things so collecting has become more involved than the shooting. Although I still shoot Pistol (what we are allowed to own) and .22 its very rare I shoot full bore now except with downloaded ammo.

    I think its probably more of an interest to shoot and post as L1A1 Breakdown says, this way we see a lot more variation. Obvious if I win the Lottery then we could expect to see it rise from the ashes......
