    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 ...

    Nothing close, I'm afraid:
    146792R 030410NAT. ECUADORIAN EXPO. (RETD)
    154692R 091297DEPT OF DAKOTA INF COMP

    Quite clean though. I like it!
    On my (very long) list of projects I'd like to do is taking one of these that's been chopped and had the 1903 front sight added and rebuilding the front end to be a 1903.
    Stretch the wood out and add a 1903 front barrel band at the appropriate spot for a bayonet to mount.
    Sort of a "what-if" transitional carbine type thing.
    Some day

    As pointed out, but to me not quite clear in text, the front sight has been changed to a 1903 rifle sight, meaning the barrel was cut down when the wood was sporterized. Common for these. I had one where they cut 12" off...usually done to a near new gun because it would make a capitol hunting rifle then. More pics would be good, let us see the side views...?
    Regards, Jim
